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 Is the information current or out of date for your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?

Evaluating Resources Activity

Here are some examples of websites that we can use to employ the CRAAP test:

http://www.buydehydratedwater.com/ http://www.thedogisland.com/index.html http://www.thepregnancytester.com/ http://www.martinlutherking.org/ http://www.ovaprima.org/index.htm http://www.dhmo.org/

Evaluating Resources Activity:

Navigating back to their course shell, students will select the CRAAP test quiz and evaluate the credibility of a site.
