Evaluating sources

You will be looking for sources that are current, accurate and appropriate. Whether in print or (especially) on the Internet, there are 5 criteria that can help you evaluate the accuracy and credibility of the information presented.

The CRAAP Test is a list of questions to help you evaluate the information you find. Not all criteria apply equally to all articles but will give you confidence that your sources meet the expectations of your assignment.
