SUMMARY:The Role of Information Scholars and Professionals in Responding to Fake News\, Misinformation\, and Propaganda
DESCRIPTION:In an era where fake news\, misinformation\, and propaganda are circulated rapidly via social media and destabilize traditional expertise and authority\, information scholars and professionals are called upon to respond. We must engage in the public conversation about misinformation and its effects\, and support those working to counteract it. Moreover\, we need to educate future information professionals who can engage in these conversations and who can help others develop digital literacy skills. Perhaps now more than ever\, digital literacy matters\, not just as a skill set to enable citizens to analyze and evaluate the information they encounter; it is critical to many important social phenomena\, including positive health outcomes (of particular importance when so much health information is now obtained online)\, workforce development\, and participative governance. Increasingly\, governments are delivering information and services only online\, which requires citizens to be digitally literate in order to access that information. \nDigital literacy is also recognized as an essential competency for job performance\, since information gathering\, manipulation\, and application are key work tasks. In light of the relevance and urgency of digital literacy\, this webinar will explore ways we can educate information professionals to empower citizens to become discerning information consumers\, and will explore the many challenges to the digital literacy agenda. \nWebinar sponsored by SIG ED: https://www.asist.org/SIG/SIGED/ \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nPresenter\nHeidi Julien\nHeidi Julien is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Library & Information Studies at the University at Buffalo.
