About This Activity
Instructor: Brandy Horne is the head of instruction and reference at USCA’s Gregg-Graniteville Library. Her research interests include information seeking motivation/behavior and how this impacts civil discourse; trends in book challenges/bans and censorship; and information literacy instruction. Prof. Horne has an MLIS from Valdosta State University and has been at USCA since 2012. Description: Expertise is built by gaining in-depth knowledge of a subject. While expertise is mostly associated with careers or academics, people can develop expertise through other things like hobbies, special interests, or being enthusiastic fans of something. In this session, we’ll discuss how people actively involved in hobbyist or fandom communities can develop a sort of expertise that makes them aware of the nature of information and misinformation found online. This realization can be used as a starting point for helping people to develop practical information literacy skills.
