Election Day is less than two weeks away, and we're sure it's
a hot topic of discussion at your school. After hearing great feedback
about an earlier blog post, we found some new political resources you
might find useful like Politifact and FactCheck.org. Read
more about them here!
We also pulled data from EasyBib to see how our users are
citing sources related to the election. Comparing the past two months,
there's been a 66% increase in use of political sources. That's quite a
jump! Students are exploring different websites to gather information
relating to American politics, which are specified in the blog post, too.
We've gotten feedback this political season that our website
evaluation feature has helped students assess political sources that
frequently carry bias. Learn more about website evaluation with our School
Edition product.
Best,
