Internet Source Validation Project http://calvin.stemnet.nf.ca/~dfurey/validate/ratings.html

The purpose of this Memorial University Faculty of Education Action Research project was to develop a set of guidelines for students and teachers who want to use the Internet as a source of information for research papers. The Problem: The staff at Bishops High School began to question the validity of information included in recent student term papers. Students were accepting almost all home pages as accurate regardless of content because they were "in print." Perspective: Print materials commonly used for student research have usually passed through either peer research or editorial boards before publication. However, no such validation exists for internet materials which may be posted by both genuine authorities and those with questionable credentials.
