By A Staff Reporter Kathmandu, Feb. 4: Users need to be more conscious about the credibility of websites before using them, said Rebecca McDuff, Regional Information Resource Officer of US Government. Addressing a talk programme ‘Assessing websites’ at the Kathmandu-based American Center today, Ms. McDuff said that since both honest as well as unscrupulous persons and organisations have introduced their websites, users must try to know about the promoters of websites. "A website will be questionable if it has no information about its promoter," Ms. McDuff, who has been involved in the IT sector for the last 25 years, said. She emphasised the need for the users to know whether the website is updated or not. She further said that the Internet now has a programme that helps one to know about the promoters of the concerned website. She also asked the users to take permission from owners of websites before copying them. Other Stories |
