Webinar: Misinformation in the College Classroom: How are Faculty and Librarians Teaching News Literacy Skills?

Originally presented January 24, 2024

Information literacy skills can help students identify mis- and disinformation, both for coursework and as they navigate the world of information beyond college, but are they being taught these skills? 

In this webinar, Laura Saunders will share original research on faculty and librarians' perceptions of mis- and disinformation, explore the ways in which they are addressing mis- and disinformation in their instruction, and conclude with ideas for how academic librarians can work with faculty to more fully integrate information literacy related to mis- and disinformation into college curricula across disciplines.
