A tip: How to trust the internet information?

There is a tip for us to filter the information on internet and then trust it. That is to look into the author of the article or website.

For example, the aticle about information literacy in the website of http://www.libraryinstruction.com/infolit.html which I recommend to you was written by Barbara Humes. When I googled her,there is a link about this person at http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/4151502. From there, I knew her book was collected and made into microform in Educational Resources Information Center at Washington DC.

I did another googling for the website author,Michael Lorenzen. Here is the link for him at http://library.cmich.edu/bibliographers/michaellorenzen/. The webpage told me that he is the head of reference services/bibliographer for Philosophy and Educational Administration in Central Michigan University.

From the above searching and finding, I believe Babara's article and Michael's website are reliable sources for my research beause both of them are professional in this field.

Trust nothing you read!!!

Trust nothing you read!!!

I do not think that it is possible.

When I open a page with a horoscope and read auspicious forecast for my future, trust me, I always trust this information. On the contrary, when my horoscope is negative, I never trust it.

Other people prefer to trust negative information. People call them pessimists. And that is people's nature. Everyone trusts this information which consonants with his/her inner life.

Expressing my opinion,I do not mean people who have to use in their works only reliable
information.

The related paragraph from the article

"4. Information Literacy

Another problem, we are faced with, is that of reliability: How do we know that what we read, saw or heard comes from a reliable source? How do we evaluate the information gleaned?
Yoram Eshet suggests a cognitive tool in order to cope with this problem: Information Literacy: Trust nobody
This literacy acts as a filter: It identifies false, irrelevant, or biased information, and avoids its penetration into the learnerís cognition.... without a good command of information literacy, how can one decide which, of the endless pieces of contradicting information found on the web, to believe? Which of the news on the web to trust? Which political opinion posted on the web to adopt? "
