What strategies can we as educators employ to increase students’ facility in identifying false, misleading or inaccurate information? What are the greatest challenges students face in identifying high-quality information? 

Please join us for a multidisciplinary conversation between teaching faculty and librarians about how we can best equip our students to critically evaluate information sources in day-to-day and academic contexts.

VCU Libraries invites faculty from both MCV and Monroe Park campuses to engage in this important, multidisciplinary discussion and spend time networking with colleagues.  

Date: Wednesday, April 26, 2017
Time: 4:00 - 6:00 pm
Location: Cabell Library Lecture Hall

Agenda and format:

• Socializing and networking. H'ors D'oeuvres, wine, and beer served.
• Brief remarks and thought-starters about critical appraisal of information.
• Small group and full group discussion.
   

Walk-ins are welcome!

This event is part of the VCU Libraries #vetyoursources campaign.
