Browser Beware:
Don’t trust everything you read on the internet!
Learn to view web sites critically, checking the reliability of information. Be on the lookout for bias, out-of-date-information, and questionable content.
Examples:
Martin Luther King at http://www.martinlutherking.org/.
| This web site lays claim to “A True Historical Examination” of the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. |
| QUESTIONABLE CONTENT AND POLITICAL BIAS – The title page may mislead some readers into thinking that the content on this website is authoritative and objective. It is not. The website is hosted by a politically motivated white supremacy group. |
Leaflets from the Institute of Historical Review at http://ihr.org/main/leaflets.shtml.
| Site questions occurrence of the Holocaust, charging Simon Wiesenthal and Elie Wiesel with lies. |
| POSSIBLE BIAS AND QUESTIONABLE CONTENT – Site is discriminatory and offers biased and contradictory version of Holocaust and 20th century history. |
If you are unsure of the information you find in a web site, please ask a reference librarian for help.
