The document discusses several factors to consider when evaluating the credibility of a website, including the domain extension (.edu, .gov, .org, etc.), the quality of the site design, and the writing style. It notes that while domain extensions like .edu and .gov are generally credible, .org can be used by organizations to persuade rather than educate. Well-designed sites with clear, error-free writing are also signs of reliable information. The document advises verifying any uncertain information with a known credible source like an encyclopedia.

Journalists and the Social Web 1
Journalists can use Google's advanced search operators to more effectively mine information from social networks than searching the social networks directly. Some key operators include "site:" to restrict a search to a specific domain, "inurl:" to search for terms within URLs, and "intitle:" to search for terms within page titles. Using these operators along with relevant search terms allows journalists to efficiently search profiles and pages on networks like Bebo, Friendster, LiveJournal, MySpace, LinkedIn and uncover new leads, case studies, and expert sources for their reporting.

Evaluating web content using Digg
This presentation presents an asynchronous instructional module demonstrating how social networking sites can enhance digital information fluency. Digital Information Fluency (DIF) is the ability to find, evaluate and use digital information effectively, efficiently and ethically. Students preparing for high school graduation need to be able to identify, evaluate and use information related to reading comprehension effectively. Social networking sites serve as a good learning platform for students, as they have the flexibility and privacy to balance learning with work and personal responsibilities. This presentation addresses a needs assessment for librarians helping DC high school students to evaluate internet resources for reading comprehension resources from various social media networks by determining the authority, accuracy, objectivity, currency, and functionality of the information. After a brief instruction, they will complete the web exercise using Facebook, and provide feedback using SurveyMonkey. With the explosion of information on the Internet, it is important for users to have the skills to analyze the various web sources using the information literacy competency standards. This presentation also provides an example to librarians how they can supplement classroom instruction with social networks to teach the importance of information literacy. Combining classroom skills with Web 2.0 strategies allows users to learn at their own pace and can allow students to maintain confidentiality.
Evaluating Internet Information
This document provides tips for students to evaluate the reliability and credibility of websites. Younger students may not be ready to evaluate all websites and should start with sites their teachers or librarians have vetted as accurate. Students can visit intentionally fake sites to learn how to spot inaccuracies, and should evaluate sources by checking author credentials and affiliations, looking at publication dates, and paying attention to URLs and requests for personal information. With practice, students will build a list of trusted sites to use for future research.

The document discusses privacy concerns with sharing personal information online. It notes that once data is entered on websites like Facebook, the user loses control over how it is used or shared with third parties according to the site's privacy policies. Even after deactivating an account, the user's information and data remains on the company's servers. It concludes that it is up to individual users to decide what information they are willing to share online.
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.

Trekking through the world of information
The document provides an overview of effective search strategies for finding information on the internet:
- The internet consists of billions of web pages both publicly accessible and within private networks. Search engines only index a fraction of available pages.
- Key strategies for effective searching include choosing appropriate keywords, selecting the right search tools, and evaluating the reliability of information found.
- Much information is contained in the "deep web" of databases not accessible to search engines, requiring use of specialized search sites.
- Users should carefully evaluate websites for authority, credibility, accuracy, and potential biases before fully relying on information. Looking at the URL, domain, author credentials, and outside reviews can help assess reliability.
Evaluation Of A Site
This document provides guidance on evaluating the quality and credibility of websites for research and citations. It discusses a number of factors to consider, referred to as CARRDSS, which stand for Credibility, Accuracy, Reliability, Relevance, Date, Sources, and Scope. Credibility factors include considering the author's credentials and expertise, as well as clues about who published the content. Accuracy involves checking if facts can be verified from other reliable sources. Reliability addresses any biases present. Relevance is about how directly the content relates to the research topic. Date refers to when the content was created and last updated. Sources refers to whether the author cited reliable references. Scope examines the depth and intended audience of the content
