Evaluating Web Pages

The World Wide Web can be a great place to accomplish research on many topics. But putting documents or pages on the web is easy, cheap or free, unregulated, and unmonitored. I am often asked “How do I evaluate a web page?” or “How do I know if a website is reputable?” The University of California, Berkley Library have compiled a guide - Evaluating web pages: Techniques to apply and questions to ask http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/Evaluate.html to help you to establish the validity, authorship, timeliness, and integrity of what you find. Why not create a link to this page from your website?
