Evaluating Online Resources
The World Wide Web provides access to a vast amount of information. On the plus side, this means that if you need quick information--written, visual, or multimedia--if you have internet access, you'll be able to find a web site with relevant data. Unfortunately, one of the side effects of having so many resources online is that it is sometimes difficult to know what sources you can trust. Many web sites are excellent, trustworthy sources of information, but many others are at best, biased and at worst, completely false. This tutorial focuses on ways to evaluate anthropology and archaeology web sites for information accuracy and reliability.
