    Why might I want to know when a Web site was last updated?

    • To insure the information on the site is up to date – especially if I am researching time-sensitive materials.

    • If the site hasn’t been updated for many years, it may mean that the Webmaster has abandoned the site.

    • Depending on my topic, it may not matter about when the last update was.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Knowing when a website was last updated is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps to ensure that the information on the site is current and accurate, which is especially crucial when researching time-sensitive materials. Secondly, if a website hasn't been updated for a long time, it could indicate that the webmaster has abandoned the site, potentially rendering the information unreliable or outdated. Lastly, depending on the topic being researched, the timing of the last update may or may not be significant. Therefore, all of the given reasons are valid explanations for why one might want to know when a website was last updated.

    A Web site that has .org in its Web address can be owned by anybody.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A website that has .org in its web address can be owned by anybody because the .org domain is not restricted to specific individuals or organizations. Unlike domains like .gov or .edu, which have specific eligibility criteria, anyone can register a .org domain for their website. Therefore, it is true that a website with .org in its web address can be owned by anybody.

    Which of the following is NOT a question to ask yourself when examining the content of a website?

    • Is the information on the Web site useful for my topic?

    • Are additional resources and links provided?

    • Are there video features provided?

    • Do the links work?

    Correct Answer
    A. Are there video features provided?
    Explanation
    When examining the content of a website, it is important to consider factors such as the usefulness of the information for the topic, the availability of additional resources and links, and the functionality of the links. However, the presence of video features is not directly related to the content of the website and does not necessarily impact its quality or relevance to the topic being researched.

    Which of the following is NOT an “Ask about the Author” question?

    • Does the author seem knowledgeable?

    • Is the name of the publisher provided?

    • Is there a contact person or an address provided?

    • Is there biographical information provided about the author?

    • Is he or she an expert in the field?

    Correct Answer
    A. Is the name of the publisher provided?
    Explanation
    The question "Is the name of the publisher provided?" is not an "Ask about the Author" question because it is asking about the presence of the publisher's name, not about the author. The other options are all related to the author, such as their knowledge, biographical information, and expertise in the field. However, the publisher's name is not directly related to the author.

    • An asterisk *

    Correct Answer
    A. An asterisk *
    Explanation
    The presence of an asterisk (*) in a URL is not a clue that the site is a personal website. The asterisk is commonly used as a wildcard character in URL patterns or as a placeholder for any character. It is not specifically associated with personal websites and can be used in various contexts for different purposes.
