Welcome to Evaluation of Sources With the aid of today’s technology, it is easy to amass large amounts of information on virtually any topic.

Learning to quickly evaluate the quality and usefulness of a given source is an important step in becoming information literate.
In this unit you will learn how to evaluate sources for:
- authority
- objectivity
