Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at 3 p.m. ET and Thursday, September 5, 2024, at 10 a.m. ET

The webinars will provide an overview of the trainings and resources available on InformationLiteracy.gov and how these tools can support information literacy needs in communities throughout the country.

IMLS has developed a comprehensive website with information literacy resources and community engagement ideas, including:

• Checklist on how to recognize real vs. fake information online

The work of the Information Literacy Initiative is focused on helping confront the challenges faced by people of all ages of a lack of information literacy in many areas—from health and finance to civic engagement and public safety.
