The MSU Libraries and the Springfield-Greene County Library District are collaborating to help citizens fight fake news. A hands-on class to help people to hone their skills to evaluate news stories and to protect themselves against fake news will be offered twice by Tracy Stout and Jessica Bennett, library science faculty members at MSU. Tracy is Head of the Research and Instructional Services (RIS) Unit, and Jessica is a reference and e-learning library faculty member in RIS. They will provide a step-by-step process for assessing the credibility of information, with many tips and practical advice.
