Episode 14: Info Literacy - Now More Than Ever! November 17th, 2021 Beth Patin, Dave Lankes, &amp; Mike EisenbergInformation literacy relates to every aspect of human existence – individually or in communities. Almost all human activities and endeavors are information-based, especially in our turbocharged, networked, overloaded info world. In this episode, we explore a range of info literacy issues including information skills, relevance, credibility, mis- and dis-information, bias, technology, media, and equity.  For References &amp; Resources  Visit us at www.acechicagoevents.com/libraries-lead-episode-14 For References &amp; Resources  of all Episodes Visit us at www.librarieslead.com

Episode 15: Life, the Universe and Everything Social Media.

In this podcast, Libraries Lead in the New Normal, we cover such topics as the pandemic, lockdown and isolation; social justice, civic and political unrest; misinformation and disinformation; kids, family and adult living; education and learning; work, employment, training and jobs; recreation, entertainment, and play; disasters & emergency preparedness; and whatever else affects people in this emerging 21st century “new normal.” Our focus with all these things is the nature and scope of the role of libraries, librarians, information, library functions, services, and systems, and how libraries are making a difference in lives right now and how they can do even more. The podcast includes 3 main segments in approximately 40 minutes, starting with “wazzup with Dave and Mike,” a “main topic discussion” (and sometimes interview), and an "awesome library thingy" from each of us for each episode.
