Evaluating Websites: Relevance
When researching, you need to find the balance between too much versus
not enough information, and information relating to the topic at hand versus
that which is peripheral. Keep these suggestions in mind as you progress in
your research:
- During your initial search, explore broadly so that you don't exclude
anything you may later decide is important.
- As you progress in your research, your topic
will become narrower and fewer items will be
relevant.
- Remember, content is not valuable to you unless it is significant. Information
may be trivial, common knowledge, too general, or too specific; be sure
that the information that you are using is appropriate for your needs.
