You may use information from websites to support your work but beware!  Anyone can write a web page. You must assess its quality and integrity.

What to look for when evaluating a website (a few examples):

• Scope - What is the purpose of the site - education, advertising, entertainment? Is there any bias?
• Depth - What is the level of detail provided about the subject? This may depend on the kind of audience for which the resource has been designed.
• Content - Is the information fact or opinion? Does the site contain original information or simply links? Can the information be verified? Does it tell you the date it was last updated?
• Links – Are links kept up to date and made to appropriate resources? The number of links still working may help indicate how well a site is maintained.
• Authority - What is the authority, expertise or credentials of the author? Who is hosting the site? Check the web address for clues: e.g. .ac.uk indicates it is a UK university which is likely to make this a trustworthy site. Government sites can be recognised by .gov - once again a reliable source.
