While searching the term “locative art” in Wikipedia, Leonardo Electronic Almanac and the “WorldCat” WSU’s database, I had found that all search engines gave me correct information on the term “locative art”.  I did see that WorldCat and Leonardo Electronic Almanac had given the best definition and creditability on sources.  You were given multiple links to read up on locative art, in different sources. When it came to looking up the term “locative art” in Wikipedia, it was short simple and to the point. Wikipedia’s definition of locative art had less credentials compared to the WorldCat and Leonardo Electric Almanacs search engines did. Wikipedia gives links where locative art is a topic, the WorldCat gives books that are about art and techniques then the Leonardo Electronic Almanac gives links to blogs, and discussion groups on the topic of locative art. I would agree with “Evaluating Information Found on the Internet,” had said, Wikipedia is the first site to usually pop up in your Google search engine, because it’s right there of course majority of people are going to click on that link and use the given information because it’s less work, fast and simple. I believe people and I will most likely continue to use Wikipedia because we want everything at the snap of our fingers. If I had to rate these sites it would be World Cat, than the Leonardo Electronic Almanac and then the Wikipedia, WorldCat first because the references did have weak references, and Wikipedia last because it didn’t expand and had extremely weak references.
