Demonstrate an ability to examine and compare information from various sources in order to evaluate its reliability, accuracy, authority, timeliness, and bias. 2. Determine the accuracy, reliability, and value of information by questioning the source of data, limitations of the information gathering tools or strategies, and the rationale of the conclusions. THINGS TO REMEMBER IN GETTING INFORMATION: Reliabity of Information – information is said to be reliable if it can be verified and evaluated. - Others refer to the trustworthiness of the source in evaluating the reliability of information. Accuracy of Information – refers to the closeness of the report to the actual data. - Measurement of accuracy varies, depending on the type of information being evaluated. - Forecasts are said to be accurate if the report is similar to the actual data. - Financial information is considered accurate if the values are correct, properly classified, and presented. Value of Information – Information is said to be of value if it aids the user in making or improving decisions. Authority of the source – Sources with an established expertise on the subject matter are considered as having sound authority on the subject. Timeliness – Reliability, accuracy, and value of information may vary based on the time it was produced or acquired. While a piece of information may have been found accurate, reliable, and valuable during the time it was produced, it may become irrelevant and inaccurate with the passing of time (thus making it less valuable).
