Evaluating Your Resources

Do your sources pass the CRAAP Test?

Evaluating your resources is a very important step in your research process. If you're looking for information in an online search engine like Google, you often find a very large results page with too much information and not all of it is useful or even more importantly reliable.  The CRAAP Test involves a series of questions designed to help you evaluate online information to determine if the sources should be used for class projects, papers, or presentations.
