One of the more serious challenges in teaching patrons how to use the Internet is showing them how to properly evaluate a website. How do you determine the quality of the information? What does the writer have to gain or lose? The Securities and Exchange Commission has given us a new tool for teaching this important skill. The website for McWhortle Enterprises presents an image of an up-and-coming company with a great product, right until you click on the link to buy some stock and the SEC lets you know you\’ve been had.
Thanks to Oliver B. of Winnipeg who alerted me to this on Buslib-L.
