Tweets, texts, news feeds, search engines, and social media bring it to us with a touch at all hours. When any newsclip or meme you want can be retweeted, pushed, or streamed with little effort and (sometimes) even less thought, how can library users determine the credibility and authority of what they’ve discovered? With information in different formats on disparate platforms, how can librarians help their community members make sophisticated decisions instead of uninformed leaps? How has the value of information changed for library users, who’ve become skeptical of experts and challenged the value of public discourse?\n\nLearning Objectives:\n\n	Examine elements of misinformation and disinformation while exploring methods to help library users make informed information choices\n	Group discussions will highlight current user engagement with information quality and unique opportunities for library staff to participate in information literacy\n	Through timely examples and patron-based scenario exercises, participants will analyze the value of information and learn how to identify potential avenues for user communication and education\n\nParticipants will be going into breakout rooms\n\nPresenters:\n\nMegan Mamolen is a Librarian and Assistant Professor at Lakeland Community College.
