IMLS has developed a comprehensive website with information literacy resources and community engagement ideas, including:

  • Checklist on how to recognize real vs. fake information online
  • Comprehensive lesson plans and worksheets for library and museum professionals to facilitate in-person or virtual trainings
  • Partnership engagement tip sheet on how to identify and engage partners at the local level
  • Fact sheet on how to spot trustworthy information online
  • Social media messages and graphics
  • Flyers to promote digital, health, and financial literacy trainings in communities

The work of the Information Literacy Initiative is focused on helping confront the challenges faced by people of all ages of a lack of information literacy in many areas—from health and finance to civic engagement and public safety.
