Before using any information source, whether it be a book or an article--and especially if it is something from a webpage--you need to make a careful evaluation of it to ensure that the information it contains is reliable and appropriate for your use. The evaluation model we currently use at the Gumberg Library is "The CRAAP Test." This model looks at five characteristics of each information source, all of which must be evaluated before you accept a source for use.

Crimeculture was created in the Summer of 2002 by Lee Horsley and Kate Horsley. This online magazine features reviews of film and fiction and interviews with writers as well as essays on crime fiction, crime films and representations of criminality. It seeks to explore different critical approaches to the study of crime literature/film, and to be as entertaining and wide-ranging as possible. In addition to fiction and film, this site covers, for example, TV crime series, true crime writing, vintage crime paperback art work, graphic novels and the early literature of crime.
