Are you overwhelmed at the amount, contradictions, and craziness of
all the information coming at you in this age of social media and
twenty-four-hour news cycles? Fake News, Propaganda, and Plain Old
Lies will show you how to identify deceptive information as well as
how to seek out the most trustworthy information in order to inform
decision making in your personal, academic, professional, and civic
lives. * Learn how to identify the alarm bells that signal
untrustworthy information. * Understand how to tell when statistics
can be trusted and when they are being used to deceive. * Inoculate
yourself against the logical fallacies that can mislead even the
brightest among us. Donald A. Barclay, a career librarian who has
spent decades teaching university students to become information
literate scholars and citizens, takes an objective, non-partisan
approach to the complex and nuanced topic of sorting deceptive
information from trustworthy information.
