Tomorrow (Thursday, June 1st) is our second of three Library 2.017
mini-conferences: *"Digital Literacy + Fake News,"* being held online (*and
for free*) from 12:00 - 3:00 pm US-Pacific Daylight Time
<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Library+2.017&iso=20170601T12&p1=283&ah=3>
(click
for your own time zone).

In the first hour, *Bryan Alexander* will host our special opening panel
discussion, joined by *Mnar Muhawesh*, *Doug Belshaw*, and *Lisa Janicke
Hinchliffe*. Then we will have 14 practitioner-led sessions that look
deeply at the foundational relationship of libraries and librarians to
media, information, and digital literacy. Bryan will also give a closing
keynote at the end of the three-hour mini-conference. *More information on
the keynote panelists, plus the titles and presenters of the individual
sessions, is listed below.*

We invite all library professionals, educators, students, and others to
participate this event. *Register and you will also be sent a special list
of resources and links for this event and the topic, curated by our keynote
panelists and our speakers.*

*This is a free event, being held online. *

Please also join the Library 2.0 network <http://www.library20.com/> to be

<http://www.library20.com/page/library-2-017-digital-literacy-fake-news>*What
does “digital literacy” mean in an era shaped by the Internet, social
media, and staggering quantities of information? How is it that the
fulfillment of human hopes for a open knowledge society seem to have
resulted in both increased skepticism of, and casualness with, information?
What tools and understanding can library professionals bring to a world
that seems to be dominated by fake news?*

*In this Library 2.107 mini-conference, we start with the foundational
relationship of libraries and librarians to media, information, and now
digital literacy, and then we ask some pointed questions. How should
library and information professionals address the issues of fake news,
propaganda, and biased research? What technical skills are required for
critical thinking in the digital age? As learners increasingly move from
just consuming information to also socially producing it, what are the new
requisite skills of critical thinking and decision-making? What are
appropriate uses for social media when conducting research? What is digital
citizenship in a global, globally-diverse, and often globally-fragmented
world? What work on digital literacy is available, what frameworks already
support these efforts, what are the perspectives of the leading thinkers?*
