Abstract
For many, information literacy could be described to some extent as “critical thinking about information”. This makes sense. For at least a decade, we’ve noted an apparent lack of critical behaviors in regard to information. In the meantime, we’ve seen these trends: Fake News and Misinformation Rising polarization As a field, librarians have doubled down on teaching better ways to recognize “good information,” usually by providing a more critical lens.
Is it possible that this is too one-sided?
