Check to see whether the information from the Web source is current or out-of-date for your topic. Topics of continuing and rapid development, e.g., scientific topics, demand more current information. For topics in other areas, like the humanities, older information may still be appropriate and valid. Ask yourself the following:

• Is there an indication of when the information was created/published?

• Is the information regularly revised or updated?

• Is the information still valid for your topic?
