Weighing up the Evidence

You need to evaluate information in the light of your own information needs.

We have discussed a lot of evaluation criteria, clues and evidence, but you need to weigh up the pros and cons against your needs.

Remember:

It is unlikely that a resource will satisfy all of the quality criteria covered in this section. You will need to weigh up the pros and cons of a resource and reach a decision about its quality overall

That's how to crack the case!
