News:Fake News: A LibraryResource Round-UpFebruary 23, 2017
By ALA Public Programs O�ce
As librarians everywhere will attest, fake news is
not new; fabricated stories have been presented as
truth for centuries. But take a divided electorate
and add a social media landscape where
misinformation is shared with a click, and interest
in the topic has soared.
Learning to decipher fact from �ction is a key skill for all news
consumers, and libraries across the country are stepping up to help
patrons gain the information literacy skills they need. With that in
mind, Programming Librarian has compiled the following round-up of
resources* to help libraries deliver their best programming about fake
news.
