About the Book

This book will explore the issue of information disorder in our society, explore how conspiracy theories are shaping citizen engagement with information and reality, and weave throughout how metaliteracy and information literacy can be utilized to produce a more democratic, civil discourse. It provides a desperately needed look at the problems of our information disordered society and the rise of superconspiracies like QAnon, and how information professionals can help shape societal engagement with information.

Review :
This volume delves more deeply into the social and political causes of misinformation and disinformation by focusing on the how and why of conspiracy theories. This book is thought-provoking and detailed. It is an invaluable resource for educators and librarians, who are a vital part of creating a more informed and discerning public. Katie Greer and Stephanie Beene highlight a key vector in the battle against disinformation--librarians! In this comprehensive study of the rise of disinformation in social media and beyond, they succeed in defining the history and the challenge of disinformation. In a social media environment ruled by algorithms that promote outrage, the authors identify ways in which librarians (and others) can lead the fight against an onslaught of misinformation and disinformation. With insightful, action-oriented books like this, perhaps we can begin to diminish the powerful media giants whose business model includes the destruction of civil discourse for profit.
