This document provides guidance on evaluating websites for research purposes. It introduces the C.R.R.A.P. test for assessing a website's credibility, with the criteria being Currency, Relevance, Reliability, Authority, and Purpose. Each element of the C.R.R.A.P. test is then defined and explained. As an example, the website "manhattanairport.org" is evaluated using these criteria, and it is revealed that further research showed it was not entirely credible or reliable despite appearances. The document also mentions using the school library catalogue for research.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.
2. WEB RESEARCH
•Have a clear idea about the information you
need to find in order to complete your inquiry
to a high level.
•You should have worked out what you already
know about the topic, what you might know
(but have to check), what you need to know to
compete the task and possibly what you’d like
3. ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT
YOUR TOPIC
•MAKE SURE YOUR QUESTIONS ARE OPEN-
ENDED AND ASK:
•Who?
•What?
•When?
•Where?
•How?
•Why?
4. A CLOSER LOOK AT WEB
RESEARCH
•When you search using the internet
you can get way too many results.
Some of these may not be relevant or
suitable or reliable.
•Remember that anyone can publish
something on the web.
5. HOW DO YOU EVALUATE A WEBSITE’S
CREDIBILITY?
YOU DO THE C.R.R.A.P. TEST!
C IS FOR CURRENCY
(is the information up to date?)
• How recent is the information?
• Can you locate a date when the page(s) were
written/created/updated?
• Based on your topic, is it current enough?
6. R IS FOR RELEVANCE
(is the information suitable for this task?)
• Does the information presented help you answer your
questions on the topic?
• Can you understand the information?
7. R IS FOR RELIABILITY
(can you trust the information?)
• Does it state where it got its information from? (Bibliography
and references)
• Does it have working external links to other useful/credible
sites?
• Based on your other research, is it accurate? ...complete?
• Is the content primarily fact, or opinion?
• Is the information balanced, or biased?
8. A IS FOR AUTHORITY
(can you have confidence in the
author/creator?)
• Can you determine who the author/creator is?
• What are their credentials (education, affiliation,
experience, etc.)? Might they have a bias?
• Is there evidence they're experts on the subject?
• Is there a way to contact them?
• Who is the publisher or sponsor of the site? Might
they have a bias?
9. P IS FOR PURPOSE
(why does the website exist?)
• What's the intent of the website? (to persuade, to sell you something,
etc.)
• What is the domain? (.edu, .org, .com, etc.) How might that indicate
the purpose?
• Are there ads on the website? Could they be indicating a hidden
purpose?
• Who might benefit from a reader believing this website?
11. APPEARANCES CAN BE
DECEPTIVE
•We Googled the Manhattan Airport
Foundation to see what it actually is…
•Wikipedia entry
•So you can’t trust everything that you read
online, even if it looks credible!
12. USING THE LIBRARY
CATALOGUE FOR
RESEARCH
•Open Chrome
•The library catalogue is called
Access It and is found on
