Criteria for Evaluating Resources - A3BCD

Accuracy

  • Are the sources of facts documented?
  • Are there links to the documented sources?
    • Are the links relevant?
    • Do the links work or are they "broken"?
  • Can you corroborate the facts, either using Internet sources or using library resources, e.g., reference materials or indexing publications?
  • Has the author put in the effort to use good grammar and correct spelling?
