dc.description.abstractNews literacy is at the forefront of libraries; truth and “fake news” are also being debated in popular media. To address this need for information literacy on news at Washtenaw Community College (WCC) Library, librarians are collaborating to create a LibGuide about news in the winter 2017 semester. Based on literature, research on similar guides at other colleges and universities, and input from colleagues, we are building the new online guide, which will be published in January or February 2017. In my presentation, I will describe work completed, the new guide’s current state and use, and next steps for this guide, as well as discuss news literacy with attendees. This topic relates to QuasiCon’s theme of “Accessibility and Information” by demonstrating a project that supports library patrons’ understanding of and access to information.en_US
