This document provides a four step strategy for evaluating information found online: 1. Read the URL to examine the domain name and extension for clues about reliability and purpose. 2. Examine the site's content to determine usefulness, resources, currency, and accuracy. 3. Use tools like the Wayback Machine and Whois to investigate the history and ownership of the website. 4. Analyze external and forward links to understand bias and what other sites say about the information.

Searching The Internet
The document provides guidance on how to effectively search the internet and evaluate the credibility of online sources. It discusses different types of search engines like directories, indexes, and meta search engines. It emphasizes that anyone can publish anything online and sources should be critically evaluated based on author, publisher, date, references, and potential biases. Key factors in assessing websites include domain name, intended purpose, and credentials or citations. The document encourages using multiple search engines and libraries in addition to online research.
Evaluating websites
The document discusses five criteria for evaluating websites:
1. Accuracy - The site lists the author and institution and provides contact information.
2. Authority - The site lists the author's credentials and has a preferred domain extension like .edu, .gov, or .org.
3. Objectivity - The site provides accurate information with limited advertising and is objective in presenting information.
4. Currency - The page is current and updated regularly as stated, and links are also up-to-date.
5. Coverage - The information can be viewed properly without fees, specific technology, or software requirements.
Search engines & effective searching on the web
Search engines find information on the internet by using spiders or robots to crawl the web and index pages containing keywords, unlike databases which contain reviewed information from published sources. To perform an effective search, identify keywords and use Boolean operators like AND to narrow results, OR to expand them, and NOT to exclude terms. Phrase searching and title searching can help find specific phrases or pages containing the search terms in the title. Search engines generally interpret capitalization and plurals the same. Advanced operators allow limiting searches to specific sites, linked pages, or getting more site information. However, information online may be inaccurate or biased, so results should be evaluated carefully.
Enhanced publication
The document discusses describing resources like ePrints, datasets, and enhanced publications in RDF/XML. It explains declaring the resources, specifying their semantic types like ePrint and dataset, making aggregations using ORE, setting the boundary of an enhanced publication, making minimal descriptions with properties like creator and relation, and completing the description.
Csre 15 May 2009
The document provides guidance on searching for resources on comparative studies in race and ethnicity. It begins with six tips for conducting effective web searches and discusses using limiters like file type and domain when searching terms like "race AND ethnicity" to narrow large result sets. It then lists several non-Stanford and Stanford-specific websites, databases, and resources relevant to the topic, including guides and subject headings from the Stanford University Libraries.
Aplicații Web Semantice - Descriere Proiect
The document outlines the steps for developing a semantic web application, from extracting data from public websites and describing it using ontologies, to linking the data to other datasets and creating a SPARQL endpoint to query the semantic repository. As an example, it describes extracting artist data from the BBC Music website and MusicBrainz to create linked data about artists, songs, and records that can be queried. The goal is to understand the milestones in the semantic web application development process and how each step builds upon the previous ones.
The Internet
The document provides guidance on how to conduct effective searches on the internet and evaluate the results. It discusses using specific search terms and operators like "+" and "-" to include or exclude terms. It also covers evaluating search results based on the accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency and coverage of websites. Formatting citations in APA and MLA styles is also addressed.
How to find information for your speech
The document provides guidance on conducting online research for presentations. It discusses using search engines and understanding domain name extensions like .edu and .gov to determine the credibility of websites. It advises against citing Wikipedia and suggests checking the references at the bottom of Wikipedia pages instead. The document also discusses using research search engines and directories to find credible sources. Finally, it provides instructions for searching the library's online databases to find peer-reviewed sources.
