Quality information on the Internet.
  • Look for the qualifications of the people publishing the site. Are credentials listed that convey the level of experience expected? Are sources listed? 
  • Can you trust the source of the data? Is it from a reputable organization? Are they linked to government authorities, universities, and medical institutions?
  • Is the information provided up-to-date? Most responsible sites will indicate the date the site was originated and the last revision made.
  • Be aware of bias. Some sites are designed to provide information, others are businesses selling products or services. Is there a sales pitch? Be careful if the motive of the web-site is to sell a product or service.
     
  • A good web-site will be easy to use and to understand.
