Fact Checking, Fake News and Evaluating Resources: Evaluating Resources

Tools and tips for good search and information practices.

 

It is important to evaluate resources before including them in your assignment - not all content is appropriate or reliable for inclusion in your assignment. The TRAAP Test will help you consider and ask questions of the information you find. Some criteria may be more or less important at different times, for different assignments.
