Kelli Herm, Reference Lead and Liaison Librarian, Lansing Community College Library. A Discussion with Mike Caulfield about Information Literacy in the Sciences- STS Hot Topics Winter 2024 Date: February 20, 2024 at 2pm ET | 1pm CT | noon MT | 11am PT on Zoom Please join the ACRL STS Hot Topics committee in a discussion with Mike Caulfield about his new book and how STEM librarians can leverage the SIFT method to support the STEM community in verifying online information sources. The internet brings information to our fingertips almost instantly. The results is that we often react hastily, without taking a moment to verify the source or get a quick read on a claim before engaging with a viral piece of media. Information literacy expert Mike Caulfield can help us identify red flags, gain a quick sense of context, and make more efficient use of websites like Google and Wikipedia that can help STEM students, faculty, and librarians. This 1.5 hour session will feature one speaker presentation, followed by Q&A. Speaker Bio: Mike Caulfield is a research scientist at the University of Washington's Center for an Informed Public, where he studies the spread of online rumors and misinformation. Creator of the SIFT methodology, he has taught thousands of teachers and students how to verify claims and sources through his workshops. He has worked with various organizations on digital literacy initiatives to combat mis- and disinformation, including the American Association of State Colleges and Universities' American Democracy Project, the National Writing Project, and CIVIX Canada. He is an awardee of the Rita Allen/RTI Misinformation Solutions Prize and the author of an award-winning open textbook, Web Literacy for Student Fact-Checkers. His related classroom instruction modules and videos have been used in hundreds of universities and high schools in the U.S. and Canada. His recent book with researcher Sam Wineburg, Verified, sums up the findings and insights of over a decade of working in information literacy. Described by Nobel Peace Prize Winner Maria Ressa as offering "clear advice on how to navigate a world of spin, trolls, and lies" the book goes beyond the basics of SIFT to develop deeper understandings about what it means to "fact-check" information in a world that so often strips crucial context from the information that arrives at our digital doorstep. Speaker presentation will be recorded. Please add your questions to the Google Doc by February 15th at the link below, so we can share them with the speaker ahead of time and to provide for a fertile discussion: docs.google.com/document/d/...
