Presenters are sought for the IFLA Reference and Information Services Section (RISS) session at WLIC (World Library & Information Congress) 2021 (taking place in August), Librarians on the Front Lines: Combatting Misinformation, Disinformation, Malinformation and Fake News. The deadline for proposals is 17 May 2021
They "seek provocateur speakers who can speak for no more than 10 minutes on what they and their libraries have done to be in the forefront of the conversation about misinformation and disinformation. Have you done something beyond creating a LibGuide? Have you created an innovative program about the threats of misinformation? Have you
collaborated with another agency to educate about the perils of disinformation? How are you working together with your community toward the common goal of eradicating malinformation? We want specific examples of activities your library has, and is, taking that will inspire, engage, empower, and challenge your colleagues."
Send proposals of no more than 200 words, together with your name, title, affiliation, and contact information (and with the subject line RISS Provocateur) to Marydee Ojala, RISS Secretary, marydee@xmission.com and to Kimberley Bugg, RISS Chair, kimberleybugg@gmail.com
