There are lots of little tools that you can use. There are resources like snopes.com where you can go to find out if something's true or not. But people aren't necessarily aware of them. And that's why I think libraries have a responsibility to teach what I was calling information literacy.

Susan Currie has 40 years of experience as a senior librarian and administrator. She worked for close to thirty years in academic libraries and knows a profound amount about information and how it's managed in society. This week we talk about how the internet has changed people's relationships with information, how librarians can help people find information in the digital age, how librarians can help people be less biased researchers and the generational differences between young and old in consuming and managing information.
