Common source evaluation tools, such as PATS and CRAAP, help students assess sources of information based on considerations specific to the source itself, such as purpose, authority, timeliness/currency, scope/relevance, and accuracy. What these tools do not consider is the source’s appropriateness within different rhetorical situations. By teaching students to consider a source’s potential appropriateness within different rhetorical contexts (in an opinion paper vs. a research paper, or as a primary vs. a secondary source) we provide students a framework for more meaningful source evaluation and a means by which to articulate how, why, and when sources are used.

The presentation encourages students to practice finding books, articles, and other resources in the library for their courses. Contact information is provided for the librarian presenting.
This document discusses how to evaluate the credibility of information sources. It outlines several principles for verifying sources, including verification, objectivity, and transparency. When evaluating sources, one should consider the purpose, accuracy, authority, relevance, and currency of the information using the PAARC method. Wikipedia can contain biases and errors, so it's best to cite sources it links to rather than Wikipedia itself. The document also discusses types of websites based on their top-level domains and warns about misinformation and predatory sources. It emphasizes scrutinizing sources, corroborating information, and properly acknowledging sources to avoid plagiarism.
This document provides guidance on evaluating the credibility of sources for research. It defines key terms like research, source credibility, and validity. It then lists questions under five categories - who, what, when, where, why - to consider when assessing a source. These include examining the author's credentials, biases, purpose, evidence of updates, and relevance to the research task. The document concludes with warning signs of less credible sources like outdated information, errors, or ads/charges.
The CRAAP test is a list of questions to help evaluate information found. It stands for Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. The document then defines each element of the CRAAP test and provides questions to consider for each to determine the quality and reliability of a source. It was created by the Meriam Library at Chico State and the questions are meant to help determine if a source is current, significant to your topic, from a qualified author, truthful/correct, and unbiased.

Ron E. Lewis Library Thinking Critically about Web I.docxhealdkathaleen
This document provides guidance on using the CRAAP test to evaluate information found on the web. The CRAAP test consists of 5 criteria to score sources on a scale of 0 to 3: Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. For each criteria, descriptions are given for scoring a 0, 1, 2, or 3 to determine if a source is very questionable, OK for information but don't cite, good to use and cite, or excellent to use and cite. Applying this test helps determine if a web source is credible and reliable or just opinions without evidence.
This document discusses how to evaluate the quality of information sources. It notes that library sources are more restricted in publication, fact-checked, edited, revised, and peer reviewed compared to most web sources. It then presents the CRAAP test for evaluating information, which consists of checking that information is Current, Relevant, has Authority behind it, is Accurate, and has a clear Purpose without bias. Following these criteria helps ensure high-quality information is being used.

Is the Web a good research tool? This question is dependent on the researcher's objective. As in traditional print resources, one must use a method of critical analysis to determine its value. Here is a checklist for evaluating web resources to help in that determination.
Authority:
Is the information reliable?
Check the author's credentials and affiliation. Is the author an expert in the field?
Does the resource have a reputable organization or expert behind it?
Are the sources of information stated? Can you verify the information?
Can the author be contacted for clarification?
Check for organizational or author biases.
Scope:
Is the material at this site useful, unique, accurate or is it derivative, repetitious, or doubtful?
Is the information available in other formats?
Is the purpose of the resource clearly stated? Does it fulfill its purpose?
What items are included in the resource? What subject area, time period, formats or types of material .
This document provides guidance on evaluating online sources using the CRAAP test, which stands for Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. It explains each component of the CRAAP test and prompts students to consider questions like the date the information was published, the author's credentials, whether the content is fact-based or opinion, and the overall goals and biases of the source. The document suggests applying this source evaluation method to a sample website as a class activity and encourages students to practice these skills when researching online.

The document is a checklist for evaluating library information literacy skills development assignments. It is divided into three sections that assess requirements, research guidance, and support provided in assignment handouts. Each section lists criteria and asks evaluators to rate on a scale of 1 to 3 how well the assignment handout meets each criteria, with 1 being not well and 3 being very well. The criteria cover things like defining assignment parameters, required sources, citation style, grading rubric, research topic selection guidance, source evaluation, plagiarism prevention, and listing library, IT, and writing support resources.
Selecting and Evaluating Databases Sample ResponsesJulie Anne Kent
This document provides a summary of search results from four different databases using the search terms "alternative fuels AND sustainability AND factors". For each database, it lists the total number of results, describes and cites the 18th/23rd item from Academic Search Complete/ABI/Inform, the 32nd item from PsycARTICLES, and the 12th item from Canadian Newsstand. It evaluates whether each database and item is appropriate for the topic.
This document provides instructions for evaluating the credibility of sources found in books. It lists 7 questions to consider when assessing a book's authority, affiliation, currency, audience, purpose, sources, and overall usefulness. The questions address the author's expertise, the publisher's bias, date of publication, intended reader, goal, citations, and whether the book remains relevant after closer inspection. Answering these questions allows one to perform a more thorough evaluation of a book source.

Not all sources on the Web are equally valuable or reliable. Individual sites are not screened or standardized in any way to determine if the information they provide is accurate or useful. Critically evaluating the information you find is central to successful academic research. Determining the credibility of information found on the Web is not always easy - think of the following criteria during evaluation. The World Wide Web offers a great wealth of information, as well as the opportunity for people to express themselves and exchange ideas. This makes it a potentially great place to accomplish research on many topics. But putting documents or pages on the Web is easy, cheap or free, unregulated and unmonitored. If you are using a Web-based source for a research paper, you will need to develop skills to evaluate the credibility and appropriateness of what you find. The following checklist presents questions to ask to help determine whether a Web page is a suitable resource for a research paper, or not. Don't expect to be able to answer all the questions, all the time, for all Web sites you look at. Rather, try to use the questions as a tool to help you look at Web pages critically.
Trends in Teaching and Learning: Enhancing Academic Library ServicesJulie Anne Kent
Collaboration, Technologies, and Interactive instruction are foundational trends in the context of university teaching and learning. Each have functioned in isolation, often independently of another, as three separate silos.
1) Instructors collaborated to create curriculum.
2) Technologies are now ubiquitous with classroom instruction yet not always used to their maximum potentials
3) Instruction and learning are blended incorporating face-to-face class time with the expectation of participation in an online environment such as Moodle and Blackboard.
4) I believe that blended learning is heavily influenced by social / web 2.0 technologies engaging both instructors and students in new ways not only to the material covered but in the process of discovery which might be referred to as interactive engagement and include gaming. I believe blended learning is going to be the most changed trend in coming years.
The document discusses several challenges and opportunities related to online library access. It notes that instructors and students do not always understand how to access on-campus and off-campus resources. It also states that instructor use of instructional technologies is not keeping pace with student demand and that some library search tools could be more user-friendly. The document focuses on increasing online access to library content, resources, and services through areas like reference support, instruction, website design, and the convergence of technologies.

Prezi and PowerPoint both allow users to create presentations, but have key differences. Prezi uses a single dashboard interface that is easier to use and has a shallow learning curve. It allows for zooming between ideas and nonlinear presentations. However, inserting media can be problematic and it lacks spellchecking. PowerPoint has a steeper learning curve due to its multiple tabs and ribbons but allows for linear presentations and easy insertion of media. Both have advantages, as Prezi produces clean presentations while PowerPoint provides more options for media, saving, and printing.
Annotated Bibliography: Handout in support of learning outcomesJulie Anne Kent
The document provides guidance on creating an annotated bibliography. It defines key terms like annotation and bibliography and explains the purpose and types of annotations. It also outlines the process of creating an annotated bibliography, including conducting research, evaluating sources, and writing annotations in a brief descriptive and critical format. A checklist is included that covers preparing, evaluating and relating sources on various criteria to write a comprehensive annotated bibliography.
