To Look for:

•Is the information reliable?
•Is the information biased or is the author presenting more than one side of the argument?
•Is the page designed to sway different opinions?
•Is the purpose of the page clearly identified?

Other things to consider:

•Are dates provided for the information stated?
•When the information was written?
•Is the information on the page outdated?
•When the page was last modified or updated?
•What topics are covered?
•How in-depth does the information go?
•Does the page offer information that is not found anywhere else?
