One of this summer’s new information literacy modules will be Evaluating Web Sites.
This module gives students five criteria to use to determine if a web site is reliable: accuracy, authority, currency, objectivity, and coverage.
Examples of real web sites are used and analyzed to help students critically evaluate the information they find on a daily basis. (Two excerpts appear below.)

In the Practice section of each module, students will encounter traditional multiple-choice questions that give students feedback on their answers prior to undertaking the scored Assessment section.
