Registration is open for the webinar “Not Just for Research Papers: Demonstrating the Value of Information Evaluation Beyond the Context of Academia”. It will take place on Wednesday, July 16, at 11:00 AM CDT.
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 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 speakers will provide our community college perspective and practical examples that participants can utilize with their own students.
The presenters are Mira Scarnecchia, and Emily Henderson, both of Columbus State (OH) Community College.

This webinar is part of a free information literacy virtual presentation series offered through The Ohio State University Libraries. All are welcome to attend. Participants can use attendance at these presentations to earn the Teaching Information Literacy Certificate being offered by the Libraries’ Teaching & Learning Department.
