Librarian Perspectives on Misinformation: A Follow-Up and Comparative Study
Saunders, Laura
College & Research Libraries, v84 n4 p478-494 Jul 2023
While academic librarians have been quick to respond to the crisis of misinformation through information literacy instruction and tool development, little research exists on the extent to which they are teaching news literacy skills in the classroom. This study explores academic librarians' perspectives on misinformation and whether they are addressing misinformation in their teaching. The results are compared to a previous study on faculty perspectives. Findings show that librarians are concerned about misinformation and are integrating it into their instruction. While their concerns and activities overlap with discipline faculty in many respects, some significant differences exist which might cause barriers to further implementation.
