| contents | Internet or Databases? Brisco, Shonda Databases Internet Web Sites Evaluation Information Literacy Information Sources Library Instruction School Libraries Teaching students the difference between good and bad information has become increasingly more difficult for librarians and other educators. While tools exist to help students to understand how to determine good and bad online information (Web site evaluation forms, techniques to link back to Web site owners, etc.), the reality is that most students do not believe that there is a need to double-check their online sources. For high school students, the skills needed to determine what is good or bad are a never-ending battle that seem to always require a dry and dull review of information resources, including databases that most students believe are too time consuming and require too many special search skills. In this article, the author describes the "Internet and Database Evaluation" project, a three-day activity wherein students evaluated and compared online and database information. The project provided the students with the opportunity to examine the future of information access and perhaps allowed them to finally realize that not everything found online today was reliable, accurate, or valid. |
