Hello, This edition of the bi-monthly APLA Information Literacy Interest Group email with links relevant to information literacy was compiled by Evelyn Trainer. Here are Evelyn's links along with an introduction: As 2022 comes to a close, we’ve lived through another year of *fake news* and *misinformation* being at the forefront of conversations. Information providers have always dealt with misinformation by providing factual information to their patrons. Information literacy is a springboard to providing students, patrons, and the community the tools they need to be critical thinkers. We can strengthen the members of our communities by offering them a multitude of opportunities to strengthen their critical thinking and researching skills. In turn, our community members are empowered to discern fact from fiction, and to ask relevant questions of doctors, research that medical information they’re given is up-to-date, and even make safer financial decisions. Information literacy skills can be built at any age or stage of life.
