Information Quality

In your quest for knowledge, whether it is for personal gratification, a researched assignment, trending news in your community, or a collection of historical data, it is often times difficult to distinguish between information of value and that of lesser quality. Information can be gathered from a variety of resources, each serving its own purpose for the designated audience.
