The Ex Libris Association Education Committee is proud to present:

Mis/Disinformation, its toxic impacts, and how we can all fight back
With former MP Peter Julian

Date: Wednesday, June 10
Time: 2:00 pm Atlantic/2:30 pm NL

A big fan of libraries and librarians, Peter will kick off this important discussion on mis/disinformation by detailing the sources and distribution of false information promoted through the web giants and social media platforms. He will flag the many documented harms that result. We’ll then open the floor for participants to give real life examples of how they have seen misinformation and disinformation arise in their communities and discuss successful strategies to combat it.
