Free Webinar for WiLS Members: Understanding Mis-information, Dis-information, and AI Content

December 11, 2025 WiLS staff

In today’s information landscape, identifying mis-information and dis-information has become an increasingly difficult challenge. In this session, from UW-Madison’s iSchool Continuing Education Services, we will take a critical look at AI’s role in misinformation. Join Sam Molzahn, Librarian at Franklin Public Library on February 5th, 12-1pm CT to delve into better understanding how to evaluate information for ourselves, and learn about the tools to help your patrons improve their information literacy skills.

This webinar is free only for WiLS members! Register to attend here.
