From Rice University: Evaluating Internet Resources Look at the URL to determine what type of organization produced the site. .com is a commercial site. .edu is an academic site. .gov is a government site. .org is usually a non-profit organization. .net is a networked service provider. .mil is a military site. Country/Region-Specific Domain names: A list of various domains such as .uk (United Kingdom) and .de (Germany) are available from NORID (http://www.uninett.no/navn/domreg.html) Remember that a page's country/region of origin does not imply that the page is about that country/region or that it is written in the native language(s) of that country/region. Look at the URL to determine who produced the site (or who posted it, at least). ~name is usually someone's name, or part of their name. You can try to look them up by partial name and institution in WhoWhere? (www.whowhere.com). Consider the following questions. Is an author listed? What are the credentials of the author? Is there a bias or a commercial interest? Who is the intended audience of the page? How current is the information? Are references, citations, or links to other resources included? Look at other reviews. Magellan (http://magellan.excite.com/). rice.edu
