1) When researching a topic you should always evaluate your sources. Not all sources will be reliable and may contain false information. 
2) Use the CRAAP test to help you consider whether a source is trustworthy: 

  • Currency: When was the source created? Does it have current information? 
  • Relevancy:Is the source relevant to your topic? 
  • Authority: Was the source created by an author who in an expert in the topic? 
  • Accuracy:In the information in the source correct? 
  • Purpose:Why was the source created? What is it's purpose?
