Resource Room
Tip 1
(1) If you find a website while you are hunting, and the information seems questionable, trust yourself. You should be able to find at least two other websites or resources that agree with the one you are questioning or one that you believe is accurate. Looking for three resources in all that provide you with information that matches is important when seeking accurate information; this is known as triangulation.
Tip 2
(2) In addition, look into the website’s owner, education, biography, and professional affiliations as supporting evidence or the lack thereof for “why” the information shared is accurate or not. To find out who owns a website got to WhoIs: https://www.easywhois.com/
