Internet Research - What’s Credible?
- Synopsis
- On the Internet it’s easy, and fast, to research a topic with a few keystrokes. But it’s also very easy to receive unreliable and non-credible information that distorts research efforts. How can you tell which results are reliable? In the video, audiences learn strategies for narrowing down results and focusing on credible sources of information online. College professors and media librarians offer advice and students share their own experiences. A special section on Wikipedia investigates whether it’s trustworthy or not for academic or professional use. One tool mentioned for evaluating a website’s credibility, is the CRAAP test "currency, relevance, accuracy, authority, and purpose." which helps evaluate how recently the website has been updated, how well it relates to your topic, how accurate the information presented is, who wrote it, and why the information has been presented.
