Part 1

Read between the lines

Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·       Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.

·       Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.

·       Consider whether the arguments are logical and  backed up by evidence, and whether the site present only one point of view.

·       Check the links to the source that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writhing, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.

Choose the right !!!

Dot-what?

Look at the site’s address. What follows the dot?

. dot-com is not only for businesses; anyone can use it. Dot-coms include well-known and respect companies, but also private individuals.

.Dot-org  usually indicates  a not-for-profit organization. Many dot-orgs  present unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of facts and might not present all sides of an argument’s.

.dot-gov indicates a government website at the federal, state or local level. The federal government is a good source of statistic, and its sites are widely considered among the most reliable.

.dot-mil is used by sites that are part of the military.

.dot-adu usually indicates a university website. While its published research is generally considered very trustworthy, anyone associated with the university, whether a world-renowned scholar or a freshman, can be given space on its server. Professor sometimes put student course work up on the web, put that doesn’t mean they’re vouching for the information’s accuracy.
