In the tutorial 'How to Identify Fake News' you will explore how fake news and disinformation can be identified and debunked. This will be done using a variety of information sources, such as newspaper articles, video (including deepfakes), graphs, social media, and websites. By analyzing these sources, you will gain insight into the techniques used to create and spread misleading information and develop skills to engage with information critically and consciously. The tutorial concludes with a short quiz to test your knowledge.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools have gained enormous popularity. At the same time, Zuyd Library has noticed that the technology raises many questions among both students and teachers. One of the questions you might ask yourself is: at what point during your literature research do you use the AI tool? And when should you avoid it?

To support education in the application of AI in literature research, the library has developed an online tutorial titled 'Generative AI and Literature Research.' This is a current and valuable addition to the library's Information Skills curriculum.
