Why is it important to know if a web site is giving

you true or authentic information?

Here is a quick "quiz" to help you determine...

In my library class I would like to you use Kathy Schrock's 5 W's for Evaluating Web sites, the link is below

I will list links to several web sites below that have either bogus or authentic information in them. I want you to use the 5W's and let me know which ones are bogus and which ones contain valid or authentic information. Remember to use the 5W's to help you make that decision.
