Evaluate Web pages

To evaluate a Web page look for:

  • Purpose—Why was the page created?
  • Sponsor/owner (this is very important)
  • Organization and content
  • Bias—Political or issue stance
  • Date of production/revision
  • Author—Who is responsible for the page?
  • Usefulness—Is the Web page relevant to the current research project?
