The C.R.A.P. test is one of many methods you can use to evaluate sources.

C.R.A.P. stands for Currency, Relevance, Authority, and Point of View. 

Select this link to go to an interactive C.R.A.P. test worksheet. This is a handy tool that gives you questions to ask about each source you consider using for your paper or other assignment. Once you've used the worksheet a few times, it will become easier to think of these things automatically when you look for sources.
