Call for participants: Interview study on teaching about evaluation and misinformation

  • 1.  Call for participants: Interview study on teaching about evaluation and misinformation

    Posted Jan 25, 2022 06:38 AM

    Hi fellow librarians! 

    I am Amber Willenborg from the University of Louisville, and my colleague Rob Detmering and I are conducting research on how academic librarians teach students to evaluate information and identify misinformation. We are investigating current practices and challenges along with librarians' views on the future of information literacy instruction in a world of misinformation and propaganda. If you are an academic instruction librarian who teaches evaluation skills, your help would be greatly appreciated! If you are interested in being interviewed for this study, please e-mail me at amber.willenborg@louisville.edu. And feel free to share this with any colleagues who may be interested in participating. 

    Thanks so much!
