5W 原則

WHO: Author of your Web site Is it by a famous, well-respected organization like UC

Berkeley, or the US Government? Web sites that have good authors do not try to hide this

fact. Beware of Web sites that don't let you know who has written them or what their qualifications are!

Look at the URL (address) to get more information about the authors of your Web site.

Web sites from universities end with .edu. US Government sites end with .gov. Personal or company web sites usually end in .com. Organizations usually end in .org.

10

5W 原則

WHEN: Look at the date of your Web site. When was the Web site created? Does the Web site say

when it was last updated? Is the information old or new? Are the links to other sites still working? If not, you can

guess that the author is not working on this Web page anymore and the rest of the information might be out of date.

11

5W 原則

WHAT: What is the goal of the Web site? What is the viewpoint? Is it to give people facts, or is it

trying to sell something? Is the Web site made to inform? Is it made to persuade? Or

is it made to make you laugh? Sometimes Web authors make sites with completely

incorrect information as a joke! Many Web sites are trying to sell you a trip to the

Bahamas, or some new medicine. Is the Web site you're looking at made to help people do

research or talk them into buying something?

12

5W 原則

WHERE: Where does the information come from? Most authors of good Web sites will tell you where they

got their information.• Did they do their own research?• Did they read books, magazines or newspapers?• Do they give you a bibliography (list) of the sources

they used? Is the Web site written by an organization that is famous

for their research (like a medical school or a science organization)?

Beware of authors that don't tell you where they got their information.

13

5W 原則

WHY: Why is this information useful to you? Does it answer your questions? Does it help you write your report? Or is the information

not really related to your research? The best information in the world is not useful if it doesn't

answer your questions. Maybe you need to look for another site that discusses what you are looking for.
