29. Evaluating Information: the CRAAP Test

30. 1. AUTHORITY
Authority reveals that the person, institution or agency responsible for a
site has the qualifications and knowledge to do so. Evaluating a web site for
authority:
Authorship: It should be clear who developed the site.
Contact information should be clearly provided: e-mail address, snail mail
address, phone number, and fax number.
Credentials: the author should state qualifications, credentials, or personal
background that gives them authority to present information.
Check to see if the site supported by an organization or a commercial body
Evaluating Information: 6 Criteriafor Websites
http://libraries.dal.ca/using_the_library/tutorials/evaluating_web_resources/6_criteria_for_websites.html

31. Evaluating Information: 6 Criteriafor Websites
2. PURPOSE
The purpose of the information presented in the site should be
clear. Some sites are meant to inform, persuade, state an opinion,
entertain, or parody something or someone. Evaluating a web site
for purpose:
• Does the content support the purpose of the site?
• Is the information geared to a specific audience (students,
scholars, general reader)?
• Is the site organized and focused?
• Are the outside links appropriate for the site?
• Does the site evaluate the links?
http://libraries.dal.ca/using_the_library/tutorials/evaluating_web_resources/6_criteria_for_websites.html

32. Evaluating Information: 6 Criteriafor Websites
3. COVERAGE
It is difficult to assess the extent of coverage since depth in a site,
through the use of links, can be infinite. One author may claim
comprehensive coverage of a topic while another may cover just
one aspect of a topic. Evaluating a web site for coverage:
• Does the site claim to be selective or comprehensive?
• Are the topics explored in depth?
• Compare the value of the site’s information compared to other
similar sites.
• Do the links go to outside sites rather than its own?
• Does the site provide information with no relevant outside
links?
http://libraries.dal.ca/using_the_library/tutorials/evaluating_web_resources/6_criteria_for_websites.html

33. Evaluating Information: 6 Criteriafor Websites
4. CURRENCY
Currency of the site refers to:
1) how current the information presented is, and
2) how often the site is updated or maintained. It is important to
know when a site was created, when it was last updated, and if all
of the links are current.
http://libraries.dal.ca/using_the_library/tutorials/evaluating_web_resources/6_criteria_for_websites.html

34. Evaluating Information: 6 Criteriafor Websites
5. OBJECTIVITY
Objectivity of the site should be clear.
Beware of sites that contain bias or do not admit its bias freely.
Objective sites present information with a minimum of bias.
Evaluating a web site for objectivity:
• Is the information presented with a particular bias?
• Does the information try to sway the audience?
• Does site advertising conflict with the content?
• Is the site trying to explain, inform, persuade, or sell
something?
http://libraries.dal.ca/using_the_library/tutorials/evaluating_web_resources/6_criteria_for_websites.html

35. Evaluating Information: 6 Criteriafor Websites
6. ACCURACY
Evaluating a web site for accuracy:
• Reliability: Is the author affiliated with a known, respectable
institution?
• References: do statistics and other factual information receive
proper references as to their origin?
• Does the reading you have already done on the subject make
the information seem accurate?
• Is the information comparable to other sites on the same
topic?
• Does the text follow basic rules of grammar, spelling and
composition?
• Is a bibliography or reference list included?
http://libraries.dal.ca/using_the_library/tutorials/evaluating_web_resources/6_criteria_for_websites.html

36. EvaluatingInformation
By scoring each category on a scale from 1 to 10 (1 = worst,
10=best possible) you can give each site a grade on a 50 point
scale for how high-quality it is!
45 - 50: Excellent
40 – 44: Good
35 – 39: Average
30 – 34: Borderline Acceptable
Below 30: Unacceptable
