The Internet has given writers in all fields the ability to conduct research more quickly, and more thoroughly, than ever before.But when it comes to well-written and effective content, the need for correct information, from reliable and authoritative resources, remains the same.
Unfortunately, the Internet contains some extremely valuable, high-quality information sources – and it also contains some very unreliable, biased sources of misinformation. Therefore it is important to know that the Web is an unregulated resource.
Checking the reliability and accuracy of information taken from random sites could take more time than going to the library. And using information you have not checked from such sources could have a detrimental impact on your final grades.
