Information Literacy in the QAnon Era #FestivIL @bfister | Information Literacy Weblog | Help and Support everybody around the world | Scoop.it

On the final day of FestivIL (yesterday), the keynote was from Barbara Fister. Her prerecorded lecture took up the theme of her Project Information Literacy Provocations essay - Information Literacy in the QAnon Era. When it is made public I will embed the video here. One thing that struck me particularly was the point that QAnon (the North American movement that rejects scientific evidence, conventional news sources etc.) gives the same type of advice as librarians: that you should be sceptical of sources, do your own searching etc., which is rather scary.

As “research it yourself” becomes a rallying cry for promoters of outlandish conspiracy theories with real-world consequences, educators need to think hard about what’s missing from their information literacy efforts.

Provocative and timely piece by Barbara Fister, on what skills are needed in teaching information literacy in an age of 'conspiracy theories' and the blurring of the line of what is fact and what is opinion.
