| Sumario: | This paper investigates Norwegian university students’ evaluations of web site credibility and site authors’ vested interests with respect to a textbased academic site and an informational site with commercial support.
Credibility ratings were higher for some aspects of the academic site even though the non-academic sit was rated more highly in presentation design and currency.
