Ask yourself the following questions when evaluating any source of information, including web sites, books, or articles:

• Is the author an authority or expert on the subject?
• What is the author's agenda? Are they trying to sell an idea or product?
• Do they use evidence to support fact claims, ideas, or opinions?
• Is the information current?
