October is National Information Literacy Month

By Presidential Proclamation:

"Though we may know how to find the information we need, we must also know how to evaluate it. Over the past decade, we have seen a crisis of authenticity emerge. We now live in a world where anyone can publish an opinion or perspective, whether true or not, and have the opinion amplified within the information marketplace. At the same time, Americans have unprecedented access to the diverse and independent sources of information, as well as institutions such as libraries and universities, that can help separate truth from fiction and signal from noise."

Contact us today for help using information resources, or to schedule an information literacy workshop for your class.

Have a question? Ask your librarian online.

Students, faculty and staff at Centralia College can now receive assistance from reference librarians at Kirk Library even if they cannot visit the library in person. And the librarians are available anytime of the day or night.

Anyone who needs help finding information may submit questions through a link on the library's web site. Questions are answered by librarians at Kirk Library or by any librarian participating in our worldwide network of reference librarians.

The service is very easy to use. All you do is click on the "Ask a Librarian!" button, and you're on your way!

Give it a try today!
