Today’s information environments are complex, and learning how to find relevant and reliable information online, as well as how to fact-check and evaluate that information, is essential. Enter Information Now, a graphic guide that uses humor and sequential art to teach students about information, research, and the web.

This second edition of the popular guide incorporates critical analysis of information systems, asking students to think about the biases and problems in how databases and search engines are designed and used. It also addresses how different populations of people are disproportionately affected by the algorithmic biases built into information systems. And it includes revised critical thinking exercises in every chapter.

Written and revised by library professionals, Information Now is a fun and insightful tool for high school and college students, writers, and anyone wanting to improve their research skills.

Matt Upson is Associate Dean for Research & Learning Services at the Oklahoma State University Libraries. Holly Luetkenhaus is the Director for Teaching and Learning at the Oklahoma State University Libraries. C. Michael Hall is a writer, cartoonist, and public speaker who advocates for comics and graphic novels in libraries.
