- How can library staff model the kind of critical thinking needed to manage the diverse forms of propaganda that are part of everyday life?
- What instructional strategies around propaganda education can be used with library patrons of all ages?
- How can digital creation activities by library staff as well as patrons/students help in understanding these persuasive genres?
