Promoting Understanding in a World of Information

In a challenging world, can we ensure our communities are able to evaluate and use information effectively and ethically? This online event will explore information literacy today, and the opportunities for information and communication professionals and the academic community to collaborate and support good information practices. We’ll explore:

2)Share experiences, advice and best practices on how to support information literacy skills among information users, including students, Library clients and the UN community.
