Later it was determined that the information had been deleted as a means for hiding the truth. Yes, disinformation can even affect galaxies far, far away. And it\u2019s certainly an enormous problem here and now. All of the challenges we\u2019ve been experiencing in relation to COVID, climate change and more are made more difficult by the prevalence of false narratives online, and our inability to navigate them. Disinformation undermines the credibility of actual experts and makes it next to impossible to come together to solve the enormous challenges we\u2019re facing. It\u2019s another form of pandemic in its insidious and seemingly endless infection of our online information systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, you have experts to help you navigate the murky waters of online information \u2013 your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/library\/about-the-library\/library-liaisons\/\">faculty librarians<\/a>! And, since it\u2019s National News Literacy Week, it\u2019s the perfect time to let you know we\u2019ve carefully curated a selection of resources to help you understand why we\u2019re susceptible to misleading information and how to get past those vulnerabilities in our <a href=\"https:\/\/guides.boisestate.edu\/disinfo\">Disinformation Debunking guide<\/a>. Also, all week we\u2019ll be spotlighting other excellent weapons on our social media sites to help you sidestep social media shams, see through doctored or misused photos, and fact check websites to discover just who\u2019s behind them.
