We all face an abundance of information in our everyday lives—from our classes, our careers, and in our personal lives. Now, it is more important than ever that students are able to transfer information evaluation skills and strategies beyond the classroom.

The presenters will discuss how librarians and instructors have the opportunity to teach, encourage, and empower students to effectively evaluate information in all facets of their lives, from their personal use of social media to their potential careers outside of academia. The presenters will provide our community college perspective and practical examples that participants can utilize with their own students.

Presenters:

Mira Scarnecchia, Columbus State Community College
Emily Henderson, Columbus State Community College
