Evaluating the information you find, whether in print or digital format, is an essential aspect of doing research. The criteria for evaluation (accuracy, authority, bias/purpose, currency, and relevance) are interconnected. Take everything into account to determine how well the information source addresses your specific information needs. TRAAP and ACRAB are useful ways to remember the criteria.
