Abstract

Librarians are focusing on teaching information literacy, media literacy, and news literacy to help students navigate the digital world. Concerns about social media's impact on adolescent mental health and the spread of misinformation have made these skills more important than ever.

The goal is to empower students to critically analyze information, engage responsibly, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. [Extracted from the article]
