Successful Information Literacy Programs - Information Literacy Resources for Librarians
What makes a successful Information Literacy Program? How you measure success depends on a number of factors: the environment you work in; the community you serve and how well the goals of your program have been met. Here are some examples of programs that have been deemed a success:
Home - Evaluation of health information on the Web - Subject Guides at Dalhousie University
There are six broad criteria for evaluation of health information you find on the web. They are: Credibility, Content, Disclosure, Links, Design and Interactivity. Each of the criteria is described in more depth in the boxes below. These criteria were originally defined in Policy Paper: Assessing the quality of health information on the internet published in 1998. Variations on the criteria have been used widely ever since.
Refine web searches - Google Search Help
You can use symbols or words in your search to make your search results more precise. Google Search usually ignores punctuation that isn’t part of a search operator. Don’t put spaces between the symbol or word and your search term. A search for site:nytimes.com will work, but site: nytimes.com won’t.
Types of URLs - Libraries - Dalhousie University
A website’s address (i.e., it’s Uniform Resource Locator, or URL) gives you clues about the site’s purpose and the type of information it contains. Some governmental and academic websites have URLs which are easy to identify, as do some commercial and not-for-profit organizations. A website address can’t critically explain what kind of information is on the site, but it can help you evaluate sites and organize your online research. Government and non-governmental websites have a variety of URL suffixes depending on the nation or jurisdiction: • .gc.ca - represents Canadian government websites • .gov.ns.ca - represents Nova Scotian websites; most Canadian provinces follow this convention • .gouv.qc.ca - represents websites from Quebec, and gnb.ca represents New Brunswick government websites; these provinces use different name conventions to account for linguistic differences. • .gov - represents American government websites. Commercial and non-commercial websites use .com.
What Does Facebook Know About You : The Scary Facts
If you’ve read a news website, turned on the TV or not been under a rock over the past few weeks, then there is a good chance you’ve heard of a guy named Edward Snowden. He’s the US analyst who is currently stuck in a Russian airport looking for asylum because he exposed that – surprise, surprise – the US government/NSA had been spying on pretty much everyone.

Fake News: Recommendations - Media Literacy Clearinghouse
If you read any news story about “fake news” in the past 18 months, you no doubt came across the phrase “media literacy.” From the various news stories and blog posts, I have compiled the following recommendations and advice.

Battling Fake News in the Classroom
In this post-election period, there has been a lot of discussion about fake news, particularly about how it is spread and shared online, and whether it influenced the recent presidential election. On November 22, Stanford University released an influential study showing that middle and high school students—and even some in college—have trouble distinguishing which online resources are credible. The inescapable fact is that young people need to be prepared for the Wild West of information that they live in and will grow up in. It is also imperative that we, as educators, prepare young people for the important job of responsible and informed citizenship. Media Literacy and “Crap Detection”
