Some brief thoughts on what the post-election “fake news” debate has
to do with research libraries, at:
https://www.crl.edu/blogs/fake-news.

With a responsibility to ensure future citizens an accurate and
complete public record, research libraries have a stake in the
survival of “fact-based” reporting and independent journalism.
Licensing, and using the power of the library purse, could afford us
some leverage.  CRL's electronic resources strategy is designed to
confront the challenges.

Best to all for the Thanksgiving Holiday.
