04:00 PM2022-05-112022-05-11

Wednesday 11 May: 16.00 - 16.45

The library profession has a stake in promoting literacy but the implications are much wider, affecting civil society worldwide. The relevancy of media and information literacy is inescapable. Jesus Lau, a renowned expert on information literacy and the recipient of numerous awards, puts the perils of misinformation and disinformation into perspective and describes initiatives to strengthen our ability to discern good information from bad. We all have a stake in this, join us.
