At Sanborn Regional High School, students assess sources using the CRAAP rubric, a modified version of the CRAAP test originally designed by librarians at California State University, Chico. The CRAAP test is designed to assess the Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose of a source. The updated rubric version is meant to help our students visually see whether their source is acceptable for their research needs.
