One of the Sub themes of ICIL – Africa 2024 is Information literacy - media literacy and the battle against disinformation (fake news, reliable/ unreliable resources). Librarians have always been considered the traditional gatekeepers and fact-checkers of the information world, providing reliable, unbiased, and verifiable information to the public. However, due to the increasing speed and quantity of information produced online and the abandonment of truth and fact within society, their role is being challenged. As librarians can no longer compete with the masses of misinformation being circulated on a daily basis, their role is shifting from fact-checker to educator. @Saoirse De Paor, et Bahareh Heravi.

It's 1Q Monday! Teaching a class on the public policy process this fall? It's hard to imagine a syllabus that doesn't include a reference to Kingdon's seminal work, now known as Multiple Streams Framework (or Analysis/Approach/Theory, take your pick).
