ART 100: Prof. Guest's Contemporary Art Project: Websites

Before you use material from the Internet, evaluate the site.

WHO- is the author or sponsor?

Is it a reliable person, site?

WHAT- information is provided?

Does it match other information from valid sources?

WHEN- was the information posted/ updated?

Is it current?

WHERE- does the information come from?

Is it a reputable source such as .edu or .gov?

WHY- is the information there?

Is it there to inform and educate without bias?

Featured website ART21:

The domain tells you the source of your website.

.EDU = college or university

.GOV = government agency

.ORG= organization

.COM = commercial website

.NET = network

For reliable information, look for sources with .edu or .gov endings.
