Super Searchers for Library Workers (Public Library Association)
The ease with which misinformation can be created and spread online endangers everyday discourse—and libraries are uniquely suited to help counteract its negative effects. Using research developed at University of Washington, Google has created a new set of tools for evaluating material found online, making it easier to think critically about the veracity of digital information right at the point of search. In this interactive presentation, library consultant Toby Greenwalt will demonstrate the capabilities of Super Searchers and showcase potential applications in the library workspace.

Sustainable Libraries Webinar Series
WebJunction and the Sustainable Librarie Initiative are collaborating to offer a set of resources to support libraries as they address the greatest threat to global health and the grandest challenge of our time: climate change.
This collection of resources is designed to help library practitioners by providing real-world examples of libraries successfully engaging in sustainable thinking in ways that align our profession’s core values with decisions around services, programs, governance, operations, and partnerships.
Central to this collaboration, WebJunction will host a webinar series designed to:
- Provide you with a basic understanding of sustainability as a new core value of the profession
- Demonstrate what climate action looks like in libraries, even in parts of the country where it may not be popular to talk about climate change
- Offer practical advice, ideas, and examples for how your library can intentionally address climate
