Technology has brought on many changes to finding information for both librarians and consumers. It has also brought on changes as to how misinformation proliferates and infiltrates within society. Michelle will talk about the opportunities and challenges librarians face when dealing with health information in a post-truth world. From social media posts, predatory publishing, and AI, how can we be sure the information we are providing to patrons is valid and how can we help arm our clinicians and patrons to become better discerning consumers of health information?
