Were you intrigued by the recent President's Speaker Series presentation by Claire Wardell? Delta Library’s Misinformation and the Media eLearning course introduces students to misinformation, disinformation and how it relates to the media, providing tips on how to be responsible social media users and where to find high-quality news sources. The course is available as a self-enrolled course or as an in-person lecture. Contact the library with questions. The Misinformation and the Media Research Guide is also a great starting point for this topic.

What are Students doing in the Library?
Data from this semester reveals that study spaces are slightly more popular than computers! Students use the library for study space. The world can be unpredictable for our students, but investing in the college library as a campus space can provide some consistency.
