Can You Trust Online Influencers? Fact-Checking Like a Librarian (Digital Dive #2)

This is the second class in the series, "The Digital Dive," led by Adult Services Librarian April Younglove. Designed to help you navigate the rapidly-changing world of information with confidence, this series empowers you with essential fact-checking skills.

Influencers thrive on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, blogs, streaming sites, and podcasts, where they share content, engage with followers, and promote products or ideas. Learn to navigate these spaces critically and distinguish between reliable sources and misinformation.

Following the Digital Dive #2 presentation, a narrated version of the slideshow that was presented will also be uploaded to the library’s Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@LakeOLib/streams.

A recording of the first class, "Is it AI or Is it Real? How to Spot Computer-Generated Content Like a Librarian," held on March 13th, is currently available on our YouTube channel.
