Finding and Using Primary SourcesPrimary sources include:
• Physical artifacts

Verifying Resources
We look for the most reliable resources in order to get the most accurate information, so…
WHY DO WE NEED TO VERIFY THE SOURCE?
In accurate information = problems

Deciding on Validity: Areas to Consider
1. Authority – who is dishing out the info?
2.Independent corroboration – what do others say about the information source?

Deciding on Validity: Areas to Consider3. Plausibility and support – does the information mentioned seem factual?
• Unrealistic expectations or findings
4. Presentation – is the source professional looking/sounding?
• Spelling/grammar

Once a credible information source is found, it must be bookmarked and monitored…

RSS (real simple syndication) FeedsRSS allows users to continually receive the
information they desire whenever it is published.
RSS feeds allow users to organize and filter their information.

The Bottom Line…
Information can be heavily filtered to suit a user’s needs.
Time can be saved if these filtering techniques are learned and utilized.
The information found needs to be credible, and there are methods to use to ensure this.
Current technologies allow for the immediate retrieval of desired information.
