Questions to Ask About Online Research
- How do I find it?
- Who wrote it, and how?
- Is it reliable for the purpose I’m consulting it?
- Will it tell me where else to look?
- Will my audience find it an appropriate source?
- How do I make sure that it doesn’t change on me?
- How can I enable my audience to see what I saw there?
