         Week 4  Portfolio Assignment Information Literacy and Searching the Web

I’m using relevant article from University of Maryland University College website’s the information and library tutorial on evaluating Web sites audio lecture and transcribe note.

According to the audio lecture advice, there is many Web site contain of trustworthy information are use in college level research. But some Web sites  are not so trustworthy. For examples out of date information, not accurate and controversial information. Student should think about how to evaluate information on the Web is W-4. It means Who, Where, What, When and ask the right question and more detail for the Author, Bias, Accuracy and Timeline. No matter what kind of Web sources you are using  a student much critically evolution to Wed site  the information it contains. Also the Web content and compare with other sources on the topic. According to the Audio lecture  all type of  trustworthy information Web sites. There are five type of (1) .com( commercial, business) (2) .org( non-profit organization) (3) .edu (education institution) (4) .gov(government) (5) .mil(military).

As for my opinion, students to do an assignment or home works paper for searching the Wed on information is classroom  professor lecture, guideline note and it’s institution library are the best resource to get for accuracy information. And other option are all institution, university and college Web site .
