To make sure you’re referring to information that is current, consider:
When was the information created or updated?
Do the links still work?
Do you need the most up to date version, or is this an important piece or seminal work?
Remember, just because information is current, that doesn’t mean it is reliable. You still need to use your skills to decide whether it is accurate.
Wondering when information becomes outdated? It depends on the information source and purpose. The next activity will help you figure out the difference.
