Tools, tests, and checklists: The evolution and future of

source evaluation frameworks


David Sye, Murray State University

ABSTRACT
In this article, we connect the scholarly conversations around established and emerging source
evaluation frameworks such as the ABCs of website evaluation, CRAAP Test, DIG Method,
RADAR   approach, SIFT Method, the Proactive Evaluation approach proposed by the Project
Information Literacy Team. We then explain each evaluation framework, delineating which
framework is appropriate for a particular format, such as scholarly sources, online sources,
image-based sources, and/or networked information sources. Lastly, we showcase the ways we
have incorporated these source evaluation frameworks into our own classroom instruction and
provide readers with ideas on how to do the same within their own institutional contexts.

KEYWORDS
information literacy instruction; CRAAP Test; DIG Method; RADAR approach; SIFT Method
