Evaluating Web Pages: Techniques to Apply & Questions to Ask

  • Evaluating web pages skillfully requires you to do two things at once:

  • 1. Train your eye and your fingers to employ a series of techniques that help you quickly find what you need to know about web pages;

  • 2. Train your mind to think critically, even suspiciously, by asking a series of questions that will help you decide how much a web page is to be trusted.

  • This page is organized to combine the two techniques into a process that begins with looking at your search results from a search engine or other source, follows through by investigating the content of page, and extends beyond the page to what others may say about the page or its author(s).

  • Check this website out. It is a great resource for librarians!
