Internet Detective

Internet Detective is a free tutorial designed to help undergraduate students develop the critical thinking skills required to evaluate internet resources. This is one of the best tutorials I have ever run across...and I have looked at lots of tutorials! It explains the need for caution in selecting and using websites for research by university students. It requires about an hour to complete, but is nicely broken into sections so one can stop and start where you last left off. It was designed to be used by anyone and is, therefore, not specific to a particular library which is helpful. There are a few short quizes throughout the tutorial so one can test your skills. I especially liked that they address plagiarism issues within the tutorial.
