Quote: Ashleigh Brillant

"My sources are unreliable, but their information is fascinating."

If this is not a challenge for librarians evaluating what they find online, it is for critical thinking. And the internet is chockablock with agreeable but suspect facts.

As a contrast to the above quote, consider John Adams' "Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."
