How To Evaluate Information on the Internet

Ok, we've talked about getting free information off the Internet and the need to take precautions.

I can't say it better than John Hopkins University in their article about evaluating information you find on the Internet.

Basically, what they say is that you should consider:

1) who wrote the article and what are their qualifications
2) who published it - an organization or an individual
3) everybody writes with a bias
4) if the author has knowledge of, or refers to, other sources
5) are the results verifiable
6) the information is timely and current
