Information Literacy
Evaluating Resources:
In this digital age, it’s important to understand where our information comes from; this is the foundation of information literacy.
Being able to effectively analyze the credibility and relevance of a resource is an important component to any research process.
CRAAP Test
Currency
When was the information published or posted? Has the information been revised or updated? Is the information current or out of date for your
topic? Are the links functional?
CRAAP Test
Relevance
Does the information relate to your topic or answer your question?
Who is the intended audience? Is the information at an appropriate level (i.e. not
too elementary or advanced for your needs)? Have you looked at a variety of sources before
determining this is one you will use? Would you be comfortable using this source for a
research paper?
CRAAP Test
Authority
Who is the author/publisher/source/sponsor? What are the author's credentials or affiliations? What are the author's qualifications to write on the
topic? Is there contact information, such as a publisher or
e-mail address? Does the URL reveal anything about the author or
source? For example: .com (commercial), .edu (educational), .gov (government), .org (nonprofit organization)?
CRAAP Test
Accuracy
Where does the information come from?Is the information supported by evidence?Has the information been reviewed or refereed?Can you verify any of the information in another
source or from personal knowledge?Are there spelling, grammar, or other typographical
errors?
CRAAP Test
Purpose
What is the purpose of the information? to inform? teach? sell? entertain? persuade?
Do the authors/sponsors make their intentions or purpose clear?
Is the information fact? opinion? propaganda? Does the point of view appear objective and
impartial? Are there political, ideological, cultural, religious,
institutional, or personal biases?
