After Trump Was Elected, Librarians Had To Rethink Their System For Fact-Checking

Crum, M. (2017, March 12). After Trump Was Elected, Librarians Had To Rethink Their System For Fact-Checking. Retrieved April 12, 2017, from http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/after-trump-librarians-develop-new-fact-checking-system_us_58c071d3e4b0ed7182699786


This is a very informative and interesting article explaining a method that some librarians are using to to distinguish real facts and news from fake facts and news.   Librarians will use a resource called the CRAAP (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy & Purpose) test created by Meriam Library at CSU Chico to distinguish between fact and fiction.
