Fact or Fiction

The MC Libraries launched a guide to educate students on spotting fake news articles: libguides.montgomerycollege.edu/fakenews.

The guide introduces students to the concepts of fake news and information literacy. It provides guidance on identifying a fake story, links to watchdog websites, links to sources of valid news, a list of known sites that produce misleading or fake news, and an example that leads students through the process of evaluating an article.

Faculty are encouraged to use the guide as a resource for classroom discussion on information.
