In the digital era, quick access to information can cause students to make decisions or form opinions too hastily without properly analyzing or verifying facts. School libraries and librarians aim to teach students these critical thinking skills so they can assess information objectively, even if it contradicts their preexisting views. Following guidelines like IFLA's on identifying fake news can help libraries work with students to develop investigative abilities to find the truth.

1. In digital era, quick access can compromise
students' judgment and make them want to make a
decision or form an opinion on a subject too quickly.
Libraries and librarians have the role of teaching
them to analyze information and verify facts, even if
somehow, they don't agree with what they read.
One way to work this out with students is to follow
the IFLA guidelines on "How to spot fake news".
Libraries + Librarians Analyse information +
Verify facts + Create investigative spirit = The World
