A catchy acronym to help you remember criteria to evaluate resources (print or online) is CRAAP. C = Currency, R = Relevance, A = Authority, A = Accuracy, P = Purpose
The CRAAP Test was created at the Meriam Library, California State University, Chico, and can be used to evaluate almost any type of information!
