    Forget how to evaluate a web site? This page lists some questions you should be asking before deciding whether a source is reliable.

    • ~ Sometimes you might see a "user" reference or tilde (~) symbol in a sub directory, followed by a name. This indicates that you may be on a personal Web page that is being hosted by an ISP (Internet Service Provider).

      The type of organization behind a Web site can give some clues to its credibility.

      .gov  
      In the US, .gov applies to federal departments. In Canada, provincial governments use .gov followed by a provincial abbreviation and .ca.

      .gc  
      The federal government in Canada uses .gc in its domain name and in the domain names of many of its departments, such as Industry Canada and Canadian Heritage. However, some departments like Agriculture Canada, at www.agri.ca, opt for just a .ca.

      .ca  
      Schools, educational organizations, libraries, museums and some government departments may be registered under a 2-digit country of origin code, such as .ca, .uk or .au.

      .edu  
      The United States originally created .edu to indicate American colleges and universities offering 4-year degree programs. Most Canadian universities tend to use .ca.

      .org  
      .com
      .net

      Back in the early days of the Web: .org indicated a wide assortment of groups, including non-profit organizations; .com indicated commercial organizations; and .net was intended for organizations directly involved in Internet operations, such as Internet service providers. Now, anyone can apply for, and use, these letters in their domain names. For example, the Web site for the YWCA in Calgary, ends with .com, in Vancouver, it ends with .org, and in Montreal, .ca!
