New articles: Fact checking; #fakenews; trust and government information; civic engagement

The latest issue of proced journal Reference Services Review (vol 48 Issue 1) focuses on Academic Libraries and the 45th President [of the USA i.e. Donald Trump]. The call for proposals solicited so many articles that some will be featured in the next issue of RSR. A lot of the articles are, unsurprisingly, related to information literacy. The issue includes:
- The art of the real: fact checking as information literacy instruction by Jamie M. Addy
- The proof is in the process: Fostering student trust in government information by examining its creation by Amanda B. Albert, Jamie L. Emery, Rebecca C. Hyde
- Researching Bears Ears: reference practice for civic engagement by Amy Brunvand

- De-biasing on university campuses in the age of misinformation by Sebastian Krutkowski, Sarah Taylor-Harman, Kat Gupta
- A turbulent time: government sources post-2016 presidential election by Alicia Kubas
- Student trauma experiences, library instruction and existence under the 45th by Michelle Gohr, Vitalina A. Nova
