The quality of information found on the Internet varies widely. It is important to choose sites that are scholarly and current. To locate authoritative sites look for those created by professional organizations, academic institutions, research agencies, and government departments. For help in using search tools and in evaluating information found on the Web, see Finding Quality Web Information.
