Evaluating Information with the CRAAP Test

Part 1: Evaluating Information with the CRAAP Test
The CRAAP Test concept began at Merriam Library at California State University, Chico in 2010 as a cheeky acronym students could use by asking themselves a series of questions when evaluating a piece of information. The CRAAP Test rubric is designed to be a systematic approach to evaluating information regardless of the need. The framework guides a researcher in evaluating information on the five categories of currency, relevance, authority, accuracy & purpose.
