WorldCat -- Module 6

Module 6
WorldCat
S STRATEGY
Specific facet: I did an advance search using the terms information literacy and “fake news”
REFINEMENT SS
Yielded 85 results: on the first page there were 3 articles that used the terms information literacy and fake news .
BEST HIT SS
Alternative facts, digital literacy,  and news literacy were terms that came out of the search.  I refined the search by adding quotes around “information literacy” as well as “fake news”.  That yielded 51 results.
1 CONTENT THNG YOU LEARNED

1 SEARCHING THING YOU LEARNED
A book title “Information literacy and libraries in the age of fake news.” The book covers how libraries are combating misinformation on the Internet.  I think this would be a great source.  Another book that would be a great resource is “Fake news and alternative facts: Information literacy in a post-truth era
REFLECT ON HOW THE SEARCH WENT
I think WorldCat is a good resource if you want to see a broad picture of resources available on a topic and where they are located.  Overall WorldCat is not one of my favorite databases.
