Join RIG in the Thornton Room or on zoom on Thursday, July 25 to discuss Verified:
How to Think Straight, Get Duped Less, and Make Better Decisions about What to Believe Online by Mike Caulfield and Sam Wineburg.
It’s an engaging and funny read that updates outdated information literacy advice (like paying too much attention to website domain) and provides helpful strategies for navigating misinformation online. I highly recommend that anyone who teaches or promotes library collections to students check out the book and attend the discussion. We’ll be brainstorming how we can use these techniques to get students to engage critically with resources like our New York Times and Wall Street Journal subscriptions.
You can find copies in OhioLink and SearchOhio. We’ll have a small number of extra copies that we plan to give away to students at orientation coming in the next couple of weeks – let the core ref team know if you want to borrow one of those!
