Today's information environments are complex, and learning how to find
relevant and reliable information online, as well as how to fact-check
and evaluate that information, is essential. Enter Information Now, a
graphic guide that uses humor and sequential art to teach students about
information, research, and the web.
This second edition of the popular guide incorporates critical analysis
of information systems, asking students to think about the biases and
problems in how databases and search engines are designed and used. It
also addresses how different populations of people are
disproportionately affected by the algorithmic biases built into
information systems. And it includes revised critical thinking exercises
in every chapter.
Written and revised by library professionals, Information Now is a fun
and insightful tool for high school and college students, writers, and
anyone wanting to improve their research skills.
