| Home > Research Help > Expository Writing > Evaluate Your Sources Evaluate Your Sources Use the following questions to evaluate resources (especially from the sites you find on the Internet): WHO wrote it and can you tell the author's affiliation or background? WHO is the intended audience? WHAT is the scope or coverage of the resource? WHY was it written/published (is the material objective or biased?)? WHEN was it published? WHEN was it last updated? WHERE was it published (who is the publisher?)? HOW is the information presented (is there any supporting material?)? HOW accurate does the information appear? For more information about choosing and evaluating resources, see: Evaluating Information Found on the Internet or ask a Research Services Librarian for help. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
