Checking the facts

Folks used to believe if it was in print, it must be true. That belief in the authority of a published work has transferred to the internet - "isn't everything available on the internet?" , "isn't everything on the internet true?" (real questions from real people).

GALILEO offers SKS WebSelect- a database of Internet sites that have been selected by a person and looked at to make sure the site is authoritative.

For the people who are sure everything on the internet is true -here's a website that might be good to use to discuss the problems with accepting everything on the Internet at face value Dihydrogen Monoxide - DHMO Homepage.

The password for home use of GALILEO is available to the citizens of Georgia from your librarian. Some resources noted in this BLOG are only available to NMTC patrons.
