Mechanisms for the evaluation of information The CRAAP Test, developed by the Meriam Library at California State University, Chico (Blakeslee, 2004), provides a systematic approach to evaluating information, particularly in the context of academic research. It can be applied to a variety of sources, including websites, articles, books, and videos, to determine the quality and usefulness of the information. The CRAAP Test is an acronym that stands for: • Currency: the timeliness of the information • Relevance: the importance of the information for your needs • Authority: the source of the information • Accuracy: the reliability, truthfulness, and correctness of the content • Purpose: the reason the information exists.
