Today for library research I learned many tips when looking for information online. First, I learned to always check where my sources are from. The source would be more useful and scholarly if you make sure the information was taken from a trustworthy site (edu/gov/org). Second, I learned to check who wrote the source because an article from a person who is a professional in that subject is better than a blog post from a random blog. Third, to look at the citation to see how trustworthy the source is.
Problem: I don’t know if I can trust the information on a site even though it looks trustworthy.
I think that the reading scheduled for tomorrow (chapter 45 from Fowler and Aaron’s Little, Brown Handbook on “reading arguments critically”) will give you a set of tools to use to evaluate most anything you might read: web pages, blog posts, articles, books, reports, etc.
