While doing research online, how can you check to see if a source is current?

Your can find a couple of ways:

  • Star with sites you know: If we had to choose between getting your world news from The New York Times or Smitty’s Basement Newspaper, most of us would grab the Times, because it’s a name we know and trust.
  • Check the Date: Another helpful tip is to look at the date of an article as well as the dates attached to studies and resources within an article.
  • Check Credentials: One of the best ways to evaluate an article or other type of content published online is to check autor's credentials.
  • Digging Deeper: If you're still not sure, do a little snooping. Read other articles on the site, particularly ones written by the same author.
