[Irtalk] Information Literacy

[Hilton Gibson]

Thanks to the Internet, locating information resources like library
databases or Google Scholar has become relatively straightforward; however,
evaluating the scope and quality of information has become much more
problematic. After all, as resources such as Writing Commons demonstrate,
it's possible to publish major Internet sites without the support of
traditional publishers or institutions. Thanks to our distinguished
editorial board, review editors, and transparent peer review process, you
can have some confidence that this site is reliable, but what about other
websites that you stumble upon?
