Whether it's for class or for everyday life, it is important to be able to effectively evaluate information you encounter. This guide is designed to provide tips on how to evaluate information as well as links to useful resources.
Helpful tip: Resources from the library including journal articles, videos, books and encyclopedias are all credible sources as they are written or created by scholars or academics in the field. Website content varies widely depending on who created it. You should always look to see if it has an author and where it is published at. Be very critical of content coming from social media or has an unknown author, or content that looks suspicious or bias in some way.
