In this webinar, experts from the University of Sheffield’s Information School will highlight the value of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) for citizens’ lives, and the contribution that information and library professionals can make to developing MIL. I (Sheila Webber, Interim Co_chair of the European Chapter of the Global Alliance for Partnerships in Media and Information Literacy) will chair the webinar, give my perspective on the European Media Literacy conference held earlier in the week, and introduce UNESCO’s MIL CLICKS campaign (Media and Information Literacy: Critical-thinking, Creativity, Literacy, Intercultural, Citizenship, Knowledge and Sustainability https://en.unesco.org/MILCLICKS).
My colleagues Dr Laura Sbaffi, Dr Pamela McKinney and Dr Sophie Rutter will provide insights into the value of MIL in areas such as evaluating health information and monitoring wellbeing, as well contributing perspectives gained through educating information and library professionals to support citizens’ MIL.
