Anybody can put something on the internet, so here are some questions to ask yourself before you believe a website:
- Can you tell who has created the site?
- Does the creator have any authority on the subject?
- Does the creator have any prejudices that would affect the site?
- Does the site seem well organized?
- Is the information well written?
- Are there links to other quality information sources?
- Does the site tell you when it was last updated?
- Is it important that the information you are looking for is up to date?
- Do the links work?
- Can you get better or faster information offline?
- Is the material online really what you need or just the easiest to find?
