Note: There is a tendency to see everything that appears on the web as "authoritative", and as a result, accurate and credible. However, the internet as a medium must be viewed as any other medium (e.g., pamphlets, books, articles). Accordingly, not all information on the internet should necessarily be taken at face value. The websites of reputable organizations (such as those listed here) can be approached with greater confidence than websites that are not recommended.
