Evaluating Websites:




What individual or group maintains this website and WHY? Is
it trying to sell a product or influence your opinion?
Who is writing the information on the website? What is their
expertise or background in this area?
When was the website created and last revised? Is the
information current?
Reviewing the URL can help, but not all .com websites are
suspect and not all .org websites can be relied upon. Be
careful and do a full evaluation on the website.
