Evaluating Information

By Donald C. Adcock

Research can often seem overwhelming. Where should you start? What sources are trustworthy? How do you know if you have enough information? What is plagiarism, and how can you avoid it? 'Information Literacy Skills' helps students get comfortable with the research process, providing helpful hints for organizing, taking notes, and presenting information. Special emphasis is placed on helping students consider, evaluate, and properly use the Internet and other electronic sources. In 'Evaluating Information' you will learn how to evaluate sources for accuracy, relevance, and completeness, how to distinguish between fact, point of view, and opinion, how to identify inaccurate and misleading information, and how to find new sources of information.
