a. Is it a primary or a secondary source? Number One and Two are Primary sources for me. 

b. How relevant is a source to your research topic? Very very relevant on both accounts. 

c. What type of source is it? Number one is a News source and the second is Information published by a business or organization 

• Scholarly works
• Serious trade books and articles
• News sources
• Popular books and magazines
• Vanity publications
• Information published by a business or organization

d. Criteria for Evaluating a Source of Information

1. Who is the author, and what qualifications does that person have to provide information on that topic? Both sites keep their authors anonymous but are very respected sights that keep their information controlled and monitored. 
2. Who published the information or put it on the Web? The Savannah Morning News and Trip Advisor 
3. How timely is the information? $ Is the information biased? Both are kept up to date with new information and ideas. The Savannah Morning news may be slightly biased as it is based in Savannah but Trip Advisor is not. 
4. Finally, use your independent judgment when you evaluate any source of information. I use these two sources the most because I trust them and have evaluated them thoroughly.
