Hello,

This edition of the bi-monthly APLA Information Literacy Interest Group email with links relevant to information literacy was compiled by Krystal Dionne, Branch Technician at Montague Rotary Library, part of the PEI Public Library Service.

Below is Krystal's introduction to her links:

I found the following two resources to be informative and beneficial when helping patrons of all ages become more critical and safe online:

Kind regards,
