much
good information, numerous Web sites are unreliable. Fortunately,
many excellent guides and resources are designed to help you critically
evaluate Web pages. Local

the Web containing good information. Consider
the Source: Evaluating Research Tools and Thinking
Critically about World Wide Web Resources are two additional online
tools that will help critical evaluation of Web pages under your

Internet page, containing links to the major Internet search
engines,
