Please join us for an upcoming free online presentation hosted by the Institute for Information Literacy at Purdue. Titled “Evidence-based Mindsets in an Era of Information Confusion: An Information Literacy Approach”, the webinar will take place on Friday, September 12, at 1:00 PM CDT.
Professor William Badke, Associate Librarian for Information Literacy and Associated Canadian Theological Schools at Trinity Western University, will share his work on fostering evidence-based mindsets in information literacy education. Badke will discuss the challenge of information confusion–the inability of many people, including our students, to determine what information is trustworthy and what is not. Professor Badke’s talk will provide direction to attendees to engage with students in ways that takes us away from facile answers like “Use a checklist” or “Only access scholarly sources” to address the challenges we face in today’s information environment.
