I love this design!! Does the artist or ALSC sell a poster of this CRAAP Test? I would really like to put it up in the Teen Room at my work- The Winthrop Public Library & Museum in Winthrop, MA.

Hi, my name is Yunjung Nam, a high school English teacher in Busan, South Korea. I am currently writing a lesson plan on the topic of evaluating sources, and I really love your image. I was wondering if I could include it in my report to the office of education, with acknowledgement of the source information and the link included. I hope this sounds okay to you. Thanks!
