‘Tis the season of the information literacy lesson. Many librarians only have one short session to introduce the concepts and challenges of information literacy to students, which makes having the right tool a necessity. In this installment of ✨LibTech Tools✨, hosted by Choice editor and publisher Rachel Hendrick and information services industry expert Gary Price, Rachel and Gary cover NewsNow, a news discovery platform that is useful for personal use but even more useful for pedagogical use.

In this short video, Gary walks viewers through how to use NewsNow to search granularly for current stories and highlights the various filters that enhance this tool. Rachel offers possible use cases for librarians in classroom instruction.
