CRCB - Chapter 14: Evaluating Internet Resources - Summary

“CRCB”: Evaluating Internet Resources – Summary

In this chapter, we learned about how to evaluate internet resources. There is a seven step internet source evaluating system that should be used to do so. This system includes: 1. Know your purpose. 2. Double-check facts and sources. 3. Consider the source. 4. Evaluate content. 5. Determine intended audience. 6. Evaluate the writing. 7. Use what you already know. While using these seven steps you are checking the relevancy, reliability, credibility and accuracy of the websites you are looking at. I think that I do evaluate websites when I use them, but maybe more subconsciously. I don’t think that before reading this chapter I realized how much goes into evaluating a website or how important it really is.
