How can you tell when a sneaker / bag / item is a "fake"?
Recently, there’s been a lot of fake news spread even by “credible” news outlets like the WSJ. In the rush to get out information, reporters can make mistakes – or even worse, malicious actors can purposefully spread false information.
What makes a source *credible* - to you? To your teacher? In a university setting?
Today, we'll talk a little bit about finding good/credible sources, and little introduction to library resources. Just an introduction -- for further information, come see me!
triangulation in research:
- Find a fact? Find it again, in a different source.
- Find an interesting article? Look up the author and publishing site
What sources do you use?
RESOURCES:
Databases are 'pre-verified' but that does not mean 100% accuracy. More likely to be accurate than a simple Google or ChatGPT, but still needs to be verified.
What will you do differently in your research, now that you have these tips?
Still have questions?
Make an appointment with a local librarian (me! arothstein6@schools.nyc.gov). You can see me any 8th period we're open (check the weekly schedule on the door or follow on instagram! @gardenslibrary)
