To validate information on the internet use a cross-reference strategy called the link command. Copy the address of the Web site you’re on, then go to AltaVista. Type link: in the search box, paste the Web address after the colon, and click on Search. Alta Vista gives you a list of Web sites linked to what you’re looking at. This will give you a broader perspective on your topic. One Holocaust site concluded that concentration camps were wellness centers for the Jews.
