Gerber, Larry. Cited! Identifying Credible Information Online. 2011. 48p. ISBN 978-1-4358-9430-3. 001.42 GER on the library shelves.
With the prevalence of information available on the internet, most students assume that running a simple Google search will lead to results that are credible, reliable, and valid. Too often, however, students click on the first or second link of a search, and do not take time to ask themselves how good this information is.
This book is designed to provide you with a clear understanding of the criteria you need to use to determine whether or not a source is credible. Issues such as misinformation, propaganda and phony facts are explored. Rules on how to use information, including citing, are also included.
The skills you gain from reading this book will help you throughout your middle school and high school career, and even beyond, as you become a better consumer of information.
