I either create a PDF or JPEG screen capture of any web pages I use and save them along with all of my other references. I hope this helps. -----Original Message-----

Hi,
Would anyone know what are the criteria concerning internet material's validity? Is it common that you as a researcher will be asked to prove that the material you have collected from the internet is real. Since a lot of internet data disappears everyday, mere url addresses are not enough. Even html files can be modified after saving webpages.
I would appreciate if someone had time to answer.

Hi, I tell my graduate students that if they want to use material from the Internet -- either citations or as source data -- to either PDF the page ("Print to PDF" usually works well in this situation) or use "Scrapbook" or a similar browser-based program to capture the page. (If the latter, I caution them to be careful as to how many levels they capture, and I suggest that they do not change the date/time on the timestamped folder.) Then, if they reference that material in their M.A. or Ph.D. theses, I spotcheck the source. If the source still exists, then no problem; if it doesn't exist, then I ask to see the PDF or the timestamped folder. If they cannot produce either to show me, then I strongly recommend that they find another source for what they want to cite. Good luck.

Hi folks. Can anyone please point me to some stats on youth and children social media use in Canada? Can be academic, public or private sources. And any good studies (quant or qual) on the subject? As current as possible would be great. Thanks so much in advance. pcw ps. My apologies for forwarding a random old email to the list a couple minutes ago. iPhone buttons are too close together sometimes.
