Verified Reading Group

True or False?: "I saw it on the Internet, so it must be true!" Answer: False!

Join MPL librarians for a small-group discussion of Verified: How to Think Straight, Get Duped Less, and Make Better Decisions About What to Believe Online, by Mike Caulfield & Sam Wineburg.

Learn how to identify red flags, get quick context, and understand the strengths and drawbacks of information sources like Google and Wikipedia. Register to attend one of the sessions and receive a free copy of the book (while supplies last). A virtual presentation by Dr. Wineburg will be scheduled after the final session.
