Finding the Author
Information such as the author, host
organization, and publication date will often
be located at either the top or bottom of
the page.

Sometimes you may need to look on a
different page. Try clicking on “About” or
“Contact Us” for more information.
File Extensions
There are no universal rules for determining the
credibility of a specific domain. Some points to
remember:
     Anyone can buy a .com, .org, or .net domain
     Faculty and students can have .edu pages;
      check to make sure the site is an official school
      site
     The government or military approves .gov sites
      but that doesn’t mean the information is true
     Blog sites give free voice to anyone
Tip
Create your bibliographic citation at the
same time you evaluate the site. Many of
the areas you will look at to evaluate are
also needed for the citation. And if you
can’t find the information for the citation,
the site might not meet standards.
