EVALUATING INFORMATION
Learn how to use a set of criteria to evaluate information,
information sources and databases

Learn how to identify for credibility and appropriateness

Engage in critical analysis of information
FINDING INFORMATION
IS THE EASY PART…
Evaluating it for credibility and appropriateness is the
intellectual heavy lifting

Inverse relationship between finding and evaluating

What does this mean?
CRITICAL ANALYSIS
Largely common sense!

Also depends upon understanding how information is
published/created

Timeline of information
TYPES OF RESOURCES
Journals/Periodicals (scholarly journals, trade
publications, popular magazines)
Websites (.com, org, .edu, .gov)
Newspapers
Books (scholarly or popular)

Reference sources
(encyclopedias, indexes, directories, handbooks)

All of these need to be evaluated for
appropriateness, currentness and authority/credibility
AUTHORITY/CREDIBILITY
Who is the author? (credentials,
expertise, experienced, licensed, other
things they’ve published)
Who is the publisher?
Who owns the resource (useful for
websites!)
For websites: What kind of domain?
Intended audience
Objectivity

Verifiable?
CURRENTNESS &
APPROPRIATENESS
Date of publication

What if there is no date?

Who is the intended audience?
What is the purpose and
scope?
NOT COMPLICATED
