Approximately 100 students and faculty attended the workshop, "Fake News: Navigating the Seas of Misinformation," which was hosted separately at the two campus libraries in early April. Librarian Canon Crawford guided the conversation with discussion focused on combatting fake news, critical thinking, media bias and filter bubbles. A research guide was provided for continued review of related themes and resources. Fake News Library Guide: http://libguides.santarosa.edu/fakenews
