Today’s students conduct most of their research online. More and more students search the web for articles and sources, avoiding libraries at almost all cost. But how do our students know what information on the Internet is reliable?
Professors Susan Miller-Cochran of North Carolina State University and Rochelle Rodrigo of Mesa Community College in Arizona developed a matrix to aid students with this task. This matrix was guided by two questions they encourage students to ask:
How does the information change over time--is it constantly updated and revised, or static?
And, how has the information been reviewed?
Using those questions as guides, the professors developed the matrix below to aid their students in their quest for dependable information.
