Evaluating the reliability of your search results 17 March
Evaluating the reliability of your search results
A beautifully written, well-argued and thoughtful piece of work quickly becomes an average piece if it uses sources that are unreliable, irrelevant, or otherwise inappropriate.
Join the Liaison Library team for a seminar that explores how to evaluate your search results, so you can be sure you include only the very best sources in your work. By attending, you will learn why it’s important to take some time to think about the quality of your search results, how people commonly misunderstand the things that make a source reliable or not, and what you can look for when evaluating your search results.

Unable to attend? Take a look at our Evaluating your search results video, which is designed to help you understand the importance of evaluating the sources of information you use in your assignments and to give you a set of criteria with which to evaluate this information to make sure that it's of good academic quality rather than just general interest information. Evaluating information is a Sway that will help you to develop tools and techniques you can use to evaluate information, discusses the phenomenon of fake news, and the importance of developing information and digital literacy.
