Evaluating Websites

Picture

When selecting a website to use in research, one must consider the actual content. Remember, anyone who has access to the internet can create a web site. In the PAS IMC we use the CARRDSS system to help students make good choices. Each of the areas below are rated on a sliding scale from one to five, with five being the best rating possible.

  • Credibility
  • Accuracy
  • Reliability
  • Relevance
  • Date
  • Sources
  • Scope and Purpose


You can find the form here to help you evaluate web sites.
