Dear Friend,

The internet can definitely be a wonderful thing to have ready access to. It does make certain things so much easier to find when you are looking up information that you need. The internet has become very widespread and has become a very useful tool for conducting research and gathering data. You can collect almost anything from the internet as a source while collecting information. The internet has progressed to make it possible for millions and millions of people to be able to reach each other and be on the internet all at the same time. You can easily assess and evaluate the value of information on the internet or research sources through selections of credible internet information sources and pre-evaluations. When checking the source on the internet and the webpage, there are many ways to make sure they are credible and reliable. Checking the domain, the contact information listed, its attributions, the spelling, grammar and punctuation, checking to make sure the webpage has up to date content, and by checking the webpages affiliations are just some of the ways you can make sure the information is credible. Websites that contain .edu and .gov have been certified by government and educational institutions. These pages are more than likely to be credible and reliable. Another way to check the webpage is by checking the attribution of the webpage. All webpages acknowledge their sources of information such as sites, books, people etc. Up to date information is also very important when checking the credibility of a webpage. Checking the date that the webpage was created or last updated is a good way to make sure that the webpage is up to date on its information.
