It discusses the problems of information overload and filter failure in today's environment of abundant online information. It then outlines the key building blocks and skills taught in the session, including search strategies, evaluation techniques like CRAAP and RADCACB tests, and the importance of reflection and citation. Examples and images are provided to illustrate each concept.
