In a June, the office hours will cover MedlinePlus. #mlasla23

AI is exciting, but human beings are very important to NLM. Someone needs to let the AI know that mummies and mommies are not the same. #mlasla23

Congratulations! @lisafederer #mlasla23

We’re getting interactive with the NLM Update and Slido. #mlasla23

The dance party is full of good food and music. #mlasla23 @RyloLH

Have empathy for the people that have to deal with you. It’s not the fault of the checkout person or flight attendant that things are busy or places are understaffed. @TerriGivens #mlasla23

Looking forward to hearing the McGovern Lecture with Terri Givens and hosted by Ryan Harris and Kate Flewelling. #MLANet23

We need to take the time to do thoughtful weeding of our collections to ensure that we are not allowing harmful and outdated information to come out of our libraries. @krafty #mlasla23

AI is the latest opportunity to discuss information literacy and critical appraisal skills. Be aware of where AI is going to scrape information in an attempt to answer questions. @krafty #MLASLA23

Exposing people to how fake news is created can help them make better decisions about information. This is a way to prebunk or inoculate people against fake information.#MLASLA23

We are all teenagers rebelling against our parents. You can’t tell people what to do or contradict peoples’ self-identity. @krafty #MLASLA23

To debunk, you need to start with simple explanations of the facts. You cannot simply retract or repeat the misinformation. #MLASLA23

@krafty is encouraging us to be more like the borg. That’s the only way to save us from falling for fake news. #MLASLA23

It’s easier for falsehoods to spread than the truth and humans are sharing and spreading things faster and more broadly than the bots. @krafty #mlasla23

Think of our information bubbles and how there’s a different view from inside vs outside of the bubble. The bubbles create distortion and we need to be aware of our echo chambers. @krafty #MLASLA23

5 main reasons for lies: money, sharing info, influencing, gain power, spread beliefs/ideas. Simple explanation from children’s literature. @krafty #mlasla2023

Fake news has been around since people started writing. Many variations on the phrase that a lie will get around the world before the truth can get its boots/britches on. @krafty #mlasla2023

@krafty is discussing her experiences with social media and how it broadened her perspectives as a librarian and person. #mlasla2023

Looking forward to hearing @krafty talk to us at the Janet Doe lecture this morning. #mlasla23

Looking forward to our opening session after a great First Time Members Breakfast! #mlasla23
