What to look for?
Accuracy
Is the information accurate? Can you verify the information presented in
another source? Does the page cite well-known sources or
authorities?

Authority
Is the author identified? Is there some reason given to assume that the
author is an authority in the subject? Does the author provide contact information? If the author is identified as a corporation or
organization is there information available about the reliability of the group?

Currency Is the information current? When was the web site created? When was it
last updated? Are the links working?
Point of View/Bias Is the primary purpose of the site advertising or
is it informational? Does the information contradict something you
already know or have learned from another source?
Does the author have an agenda or trying to sway his/her audience?
