Buyer, beware. We’ve all heard this warning. Before making a purchase, do your due diligence, investigate the item and the company, read the fine print, and use your critical thinking skills to choose wisely. Today I would add: Reader, beware. Viewer, beware. Listener, beware. Voter, beware. The articles here explore the dangers of disinformation, why it exists, and what we can do about it. Try to include answers to the questions beneath each article as you compose your writing assignment.
These articles come from magazines, newspapers, and journals that are available in PCC Library's databases. You will be prompted to log in to myPittCC before you can access the article(s). You can search for more articles using the same databases.
Remember: A librarian can help you with searching, citing, and accessing the databases if you are having trouble. Look for the "Chat with a Librarian" box on the Help page. It provides you with 24/7 online access to a real, human, librarian - not a chatbot!
The username and password to access databases is the same as what you use to log in to myPittCC and Moodle. The username is your entire myPittCC email address (jdstudent000@my.pittcc.edu).
Community logins are available to Pitt County residents with PCC library cards and others who are enrolled in or are affiliated with PCC programs and continuing education courses. Scroll down and look for the "Community Login" section.
