All webpages should be evaluated for relevancy, appropriateness, detail, currency, authority, and bias but before you move on to these criteria you should take a look at the links associated with the webpage. Use the following pages to learn more.
- URLs: Use the webpage's URL (Uniform Resource Locator) to determine what kind of page you are viewing, where it comes from, and whether or not it is a personal webpage.
- Top-Level Domains: Learn about common top-level domains, such as .com, .gov, and .org.
- Links and Back Links: Make an initial judgment about a webpage by examining the links to and from that page.
