Select resources wisely


Evaluate and selectively choose resources applying the following evaluation criteria:

  • Timeliness: is the information current?, updated? historical perspective?

  • Authority: who is the author; who is responsible for the information presented in the article, website, or book?

  • Accuracy:  compare the facts with other sources; does a bibliography provide evidence of research and documentation with other sources? 

  • Purpose: why was the book, website, or article written or created?  What is the point of view or bias?

  • Intended audience: high school, college, graduate level?
