Dr. Natalie Taylor Publishes Article in American Libraries

School of Information faculty member Dr. Natalie Taylor recently collaborated on an article entitled . The article explores the dangers of misinformation and discusses how the "internet has made it easy for people to be information illiterate in new ways. Anyone can create information now—regardless of quality—and get it in front of a large number of people. The ability of social media to spread information as fast as possible, and to as many people as possible, challenges literacy, as does the ability to manipulate images, sounds, and video with ease." It concludes with a call to action for all institutions to be as diverse and broad in their thinking as possible when educating students and others about information literacy.
