Website Evaluation Site

UC Berkley Library offers a web page that instructs students how to evaluate websites.  I think this web page is a good resource for teachers to use with high school students to help them learn how to find credible information on the world wide web.  First, it is simple and organized.  It lists five questions you should ask yourself when evaluating a website and then goes into further detail under each question of specifics you should look for.  It also gives some helpful instructions on where to look to find information requested (i.e. author, domain, organization).  There are links on the web page to other web pages with examples or definitions to help clarify any questions students still have.  Also, this web page is current as it has been updated in the last year, so the information will be accurate.
