HOW TO EVALUATE WEB SITES
• Author (individual or group)
• Publisher
• Date (is it important to your topic?)
• Cited sources
• Common Sense (bias, logical, facts vs. opinions, errors and dead links)

URLS
• .com – usually a commercial site
• .net, .org – sometimes a non-profit, but anyone can get a domain ending in either of these
• .edu – affiliated with an educational institution like a school or library, but it can be a professor or a student, so beware
• .gov, .mil – government/military site. Usually credible, great source of statistics and other information, though some topics may involve a bias, such as No Child Left Behind or Patriot Act
• None of these are fool-proof
