Evaluating a source

The source that i evaluated was http://www.si.edu/ It is the smithsonian website. I believe that it will be useful for my paper because it seems as if it will be a credible website. First off it has edu as a domain which means education. that is usually a good sign. It has alot of credible sources fir it's information. Auctually it's a world renown encyclopedia, that should mean something. If it has any information on what i choose to do my report on than it will more than likely prove to be a good website to get information from. Every one of the links on it take you to another credible place also. They tend to be government or higher education credentials. That's why i believe that this will be a good place to go for information  for my report.
