TRAC

At WMS, we use the acronym TRAC to evaluate all sources of information.

  • Trustworthy—To figure out if a source is trustworthy, we need to know who is taking responsibility for the content and why we can trust them. 
  • Relevant—This means that the source has the right kind of information about your topic.
  • Accessible—This means that the source is easy for you to access in many different ways.
  • Current—This means the source is current enough to be useful. 


You can also use TRAC when looking for misinformation!
