Fake News and Alternative Facts by Nicole A Cooke
Learn more about the rise of fake news, particularly those information behaviours that have perpetuated its spread; discover techniques to identify fake news, especially online; and explore methods to help library patrons of all ages think critically about information, teaching them ways to separate fact from fiction.
