Participants will learn a variety of things including: basic tips in communicating with Deaf patrons, simple signs related to the library, strategies to make your library more Deaf friendly and resources to help participants continue their sign language and Deaf culture education. The workshop includes group instruction, demonstrations and activities.


  *   Misinformation and how to fight it
Misinformation has been around since ancient Egyptian times. It's not new, but evolving technology has increased its spread exponentially. Similar to infectious diseases, we are all potential vectors in the spread of misinformation. Inoculate yourself to misinformation by participating in this introduction to identifying and fighting misinformation. During this workshop, participants will review the modern misinformation landscape, learn about and utilize fact-checking tools and pave a path to becoming a better digital citizen.
Learning Outcomes: 1) Understand the landscape of misinformation today. 2) Identify and utilize tools to assist in the identification of mis/disinformation
