The internet is great source of information, but evaluating the information found is a critical role of the user. We come to expect much of the information we find, especially in a library, to be relaible and already evaluated through the publication process. While all information in whatever format should be critically viewed, this is especially the case with Internet sources, since there is very little review if any for the majority of Web sites. An excellent overview of evaluating Web sites is Evaluating information found on the Internet from Johns Hopkins University.
