Librarianship is an ever-changing journey that follows the evolution of media literacy. Currently, students live in an Internet world where politicians scream "Fake news!" at reports they don't like; foreign governments create actual fake news; and journalism seamlessly blends the genres of reporting and commenting. Students must learn how to assess the information they access via the Internet for credibility, question an author's motive, and synthesize new knowledge from what they read. Librarians are no longer just providers and curators of information. They also must teach students skills for online searching. If students learn how to research laterally--meaning they do not just dig deeper, but they also move wider--they start using skills needed to validate information and challenge discrepancies. Instead of telling students how to successfully search the Web, librarians must show them what the process looks like and provide them with exemplary sources. Teaching students how to research using the Internet is not only a way to improve academics or to provide a life skill, it is also an act of citizenship and is essential to the country's democracy.
