Evaluation of resources is extremely important. With most books and periodicals, a publisher has reviewed the content prior to publishing the information. On the web, however, anyone can be an author, editor, or publisher (even you!). Therefore, for anything you find on the web, it is your responsibility to evaluate the information before you use what you found in your assignment. A good way to evaluate web resources is by applying them to the CRAAP Test, shown below.

Currency	The timeliness of the information.
Relevance/Coverage	The depth and importance of the information.
Authority	The source of the information.
Accuracy	The reliability of the information.
Purpose/Objectivity	The possible bias present in the information.
