Information or INFO or About Us
Ask yourself the following questions when evaluating websites:|
=> 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?
For this topic, a student would need to be careful that they were not using information that is essentially written for tourists or for people who simply love Museums and how much fun they are. Possibly using only materials that come from universities and carry a .edu domain would be a good idea.
