Why I Built This

Every day, educators and students face a problem that keeps getting worse: AI makes it easier to generate text, but no easier to evaluate it. Citation checklists, CRAAP tests, and source evaluation frameworks exist — but applying them manually is slow, inconsistent, and often skipped entirely.

Sabia Librarian exists to make professional-grade source evaluation accessible to every librarian, teacher, and student — regardless of whether they have a library science degree or access to a reference desk.

The evaluator doesn't replace judgment. It supports it. You'll see exactly why each source received its score — so you can teach the framework, not just deliver a verdict.

What the Evaluator Does

Sabia Librarian evaluates web sources against professional information literacy criteria:

A
Authorship and credentials — Who wrote it? What are their qualifications and affiliations?
P
Publication context and editorial standards — Where was it published? Is there peer review or editorial oversight?
Q
Source quality and evidence standards — Is the information backed by reliable evidence and appropriate sources?
C
Currency and maintenance — When was it published or last updated? Is it actively maintained?

It returns a score and a detailed breakdown — not a black box.
