Before You Cite a Site.
Caruso, Carol
Educational Leadership, v55 n3 p24-25 Nov 1997

The four Ws of site validation involve determining who wrote the site, what the site is saying, when the site was created, and where it originated. Learners should not rely solely on Web resources and ignore information available elsewhere. (MLH)
