Credible
sources, including web sites, will feature a copyright date!
- For
books,
check for the publication date on the title
page.
- For
articles and web sites,
check the beginning or end of the work.
- When
a date is not obvious, navigate back to a web
site's main page.
Look
closely. A 'last updated' notice on a web
page does not necessarily mean the entire
site is up-to-date. To get a sense for when information was
collected, look at the dates in the source's bibliography,
if it has one.
