This issue of \u003cem\u003eLibrary Technology Reports\u003c\/em\u003e (vol. 53, no. 8), “Combating Fake News in the Digital Age,” explores fake news—its history, how it is shared, the technology that has enhanced its reach, the technology that can help combat it, and the practical steps we can take to help our patrons discern fact from fiction. While fake news is not a new phenomenon, the means by which it is spread has changed in both speed and magnitude. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are fertile ground for the spread of fake news. Algorithms known as bots are increasingly being deployed to manipulate information, to disrupt social media communication, and to gain user attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile technological assistance to identify fake news are beginning to appear, they are in their infancy.

It is essential to teach ourselves and our students and patrons to be critical consumers of news. This issue of Library Technology Reports is for librarians who serve all age levels and who can help by teaching users both that they need to be aware and how to be aware of fake news. Library instruction in how to avoid fake news, how to identify fake news, and how to stop fake news will be essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Joanna M.

The first volume in a new series presented in partnership with the Center, Anonymity explores the roles and ramifications of this hallmark of technology. In the virtual realm, anonymity means that such bedrock values of librarianship as privacy, free speech, and intellectual freedom coexist uneasily with the proliferation of fake news, sexist and racist sentiments, and repugnant ideologies. As trusted guardians of knowledge, libraries and librarians can fill a growing need for reputable information and open dialog. Macrina, founder and director of the Library Freedom Project and a core contributor to the Tor Project, along with co-author Cooper, whose important advocacy in archives informs this work, discuss apps (Whisper, Secret) and forums (Reddit) that promote anonymity as a central feature, even as so-called true anonymity remains elusive because of pervasive user data tracking. They also examine how anonymous content has become valuable fodder for both news organizations and clickbait websites. Will the rise of anonymity and the vulnerabilities it exposes, especially for governments and businesses, lead to a movement against it? Or have our society and its technology passed the point of no return? Bringing issues and viewpoints from outside the profession into the conversation, this book will encourage libraries to think about anonymity and what it means for the future of our institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Alison Macrina, Talya Cooper\u003cbr\u003ePublished: 2019\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: ALA Neal-Schuman\u003cbr\u003ePages: 80\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 5\"\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 7\"\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Softcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALA Neal-Schuman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14780218245190,"sku":"9780838916339","price":31.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1418\/6818\/products\/41KAL46UXSL._SX355_BO1_204_203_200.jpg?v=1538757727"},{"product_id":"new-top-technologies-every-librarian-needs-to-know","title":"New Top Technologies Every Librarian Needs to Know","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe time is right for this all-new survey of the library technology that’s already transitioning from trend to everyday reality.

Clarke, a researcher whose work has systematically examined the capacity of design thinking to revolutionize LIS education and the exploration of diverse library reading materials, guides readers through this trend. After introducing the concept, she outlines the steps of the design thinking process model. She then shares various examples of design projects in libraries, illustrating how design thinking extends beyond just space planning or website design and is applicable to all library products and services. She also demonstrates the ways in which design can either enable or stifle such foundational library values as intellectual freedom, diversity, and access. Concluding with a rousing call to action for all librarians to recognize their positions as designers, this book will encourage readers to recognize how design thinking can empower libraries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Rachel Ivy Clarke\u003cbr\u003ePublished: 2020\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: ALA Neal-Schuman\u003cbr\u003ePages: 72\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 5\"\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 7\"\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Softcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALA Neal-Schuman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15507364446278,"sku":"9780838917923","price":31.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1418\/6818\/products\/9780838917923.jpg?v=1539691813"},{"product_id":"motivating-students-on-a-time-budget-pedagogical-frames-and-lesson-plans-for-in-person-and-online-information-literacy-instruction","title":"Motivating Students on a Time Budget: Pedagogical Frames and Lesson Plans for In-Person and Online Information Literacy Instruction","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs librarians, we often find ourselves outside the traditional structure of our education system.

The data are timestamped and linked to previous records so that they can only be changed by those who own the encryption keys to write to the files. In this book, editors Hirsh and Alman offer a primer of what librarians and information professionals need to understand about blockchain technology.

Resilience (or resiliency) incorporates preparations for and rapid recovery from physical, social, and economic disruptions, including environmental disasters, terrorist attacks, or economic collapse. As city, state, and the federal governments adopt resiliency as a strategy for addressing potential disasters, libraries may need to align their facilities, services, and programs to demonstrate a resilient strategy. Additionally, libraries may find themselves competing for funding with other programs or initiatives, especially in an increasingly limited pool of government spending. A founding member of ALA’s Sustainability Round Table, and a longtime public library development consultant, in this book Aldrich discusses how resilience can align with library values of equity and access, and why libraries and information professionals may be ideal partners or providers in helping individuals and the communities which they serve adopt resilient practices.

One of the hindrances to the transition to greater openness in academia is this lack of clear understanding about how it fits into the practice of scholarly communication. To ensure that librarians as knowledge managers can better educate scholars about the benefits and challenges of open scholarship, Victoria Martin's The Complete Guide to Open Scholarship brings clarity to the concept of openness, tests assumptions concerning it, and strikes the right balance between breaking down complex ideas into simpler ones and honoring the reader's intelligence and previous knowledge of the subject. Readers will learn the history of openness in scholarship as well as several ways in which openness can be perceived.
