What are some criteria you can use to help establish a Web site as valid?

What will be an ideal response?


Examine whose Web site it is and what's in the URL (Uniform Resource Locator). Personal Web sites should be used with caution. Look at the nature of the domain. An official government Web site is more credible than a private or special purpose group Web site. Check to see if the material is current or dated. If the links are expired and the content is old, it may not be valid for your research. Consult other resources to determine if the information found on the Web site can be corroborated. If it is not supported by any other source, it is not reliable.
