How do I evaluate the publisher?

Test your URL in a different browser (e.g., Firefox vs. Chrome) to verify that it is stable. Why would this organization publish this information?

  • What are the organization's goals (e.g., "About," "FAQ," "Media Center")?
 

Look for names:

  • Of people (e.g., Board members, staff). What is their expertise? What statements do they make?
  • Of organizations who support or fund this site. What are their goals?
 

Tip: Search [link:URL] to identify who links to and values this site.
