If you open a book or magazine, it will tell you somewhere, usually near the front or the back, when it was published.

 

Because books are updated only once in a while and magazines come out at regular intervals, it is fairly easy to see how old a piece of information is. You can then work out how up-to-date the information is.

 

In general, the older a piece of information, the less up-to-date it is and the less useful it will be.

 

So if a page was created recently it must be OK, yes?

 

The Internet is a good way of providing information because it can be updated very quickly.

This means it should be a very good place for finding up-to-date information. If the information you are looking for changes often this could be very important to you.

 

To check how up-to-date the page is, you need to check the date that it was created or updated.

This is usually at the very bottom of the page. Remember, a page that claims to have the most up-to-date information, should have a recent date.

 

If the information you are interested in is less likely to change very often then the date may be less important, but you should still check it.

What if I can't find a date at all
