PART ONE:
The librarians at California State University-Chico developed the CRAAP Test as a handy acronym to use for evaluation. It can apply to all informational resources! CRAAP cleverly contains a list of questions to ask yourself when deciding whether or not a source is credible enough to use in your research paper. As shown above, CRAAP stands for Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose.
