Even within university and library web sites, there can be many pages that the institution does not try to oversee."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/Evaluate.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160510203400/https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/Evaluate.html|title=Evaluating Web Pages: Techniques to Apply & Questions to Ask|website=[[University of California, Berkeley]]|date=May 8, 2012|archive-date=May 10, 2016|accessdate=July 11, 2020}}</ref>
