evaluation of sources in any format

Well they were two different reading for this week and basically both of these authors are trying to state the same point. The point they are making is to educate us the technique that we should apply when evaluating a web page. The Internet is a excellent place to do research and find solution to problems. However, we have to be very careful not to obtain the wrong solution because nowadays anyone could be a expert on they own. According to Evaluation Web Pages by Berkeley “There is a famous Steiner cartoon published in the New Yorker (July 5, 1993) with two dogs sitting before a terminal looking at a computer screen; one says to the other “On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.” This is the reason why one has to be extra careful when searching the Net. These reading talks about how the URL such as .com, .gov, .org and ECT..can say a lot about a site. Second is to check who verify the authors credentials such as what degree they have. Third is to check the date of publication and finally check the other sites that are link to the site.
