Today's agenda includes participating in a group discussion about websites, evaluating a website based on its authority, currency, coverage and objectivity, and comparing evaluation results. Website evaluation criteria include assessing whether the source is an accepted authority on the topic, if the information is up-to-date, sufficiently informative and relevant to the topic, and objective by presenting facts without bias. An advanced search tip is to remember to focus Google searches by using date ranges and website domains to filter results.
