This workshop is being offered by Sno-Isle Libraries in partnership with the Center for an Informed Public (CIP), featuring University of Washington Information School researchers. The CIP is a multidisciplinary research center at the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle that has a mission to “resist strategic misinformation, promote an informed society and strengthen democratic discourse.” The center’s work revolves around four pillars: research; education; engagement; and law and policy. Keep learning using resources from the CIP.

"There’s a lot of conflicting medical and health information out there, and the information we act on can have a big impact on our well being. At this workshop, you’ll learn strategies to help you verify medical information you hear from family, friends, or the internet and investigate the reputation of sources that share medical information with the public. We all want the best information when it comes to our health – you’ll leave this workshop with more confidence that you can find it."
