Information Literacy: The Web is not an Encyclopedia

This website's  mission is to provide leadership and innovation in information technology planning, to implement efficient technology infrastructures, to develop and deploy effective information systems, and to deliver responsive IT support services.

The Web is a lot like a flea market: there’s a vast selection of sites to choose from but not a lot of order to it. Some sites are offered by reputable “dealers” and some from individuals who want to show off their personal favorite items. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s a hidden treasure, what’s worth taking a look at, and what’s a waste of time. This website gives criteria for students to look for and how to evaluate the site.
