LIB100

Here are the correct answers for the last two quizzes:

Quiz 9:

• Results higher up in a Google search are linked to by more websites.
• All of the above (or ownership, authority, accuracy of content, purpose, and objectivity) should be criteria used to evaluate websites for use in research.
• Anyone can post information online, where traditional media is filtered by editors or purchasers.

Quiz 10:

• Web 2.0 is different from the earlier web because it is much easier for everyone to publish information online. This can be useful for very specific types of research such as information that is social (what is appropriate to wear when traveling, etc.) or extremely current (what are the user reviews of the new gaming system that just released last night).
• RSS is a technology that pushes new information to you. If you know you want to keep up with a specific website you can subscribe to it and get news delivered to you. This is particularly useful if you follow many sites because it will save you a lot of time.
