User-Generated Tags Going Away

The Framework for Information Literacy Sandbox (FILS) Committee has created a new list of high-use topics with definitions to make resources easier to categorize and find. We are moving away from user-generated tags. You can update your tags to these new standardized topics to improve discoverability. User-generated tags are currently hidden and will go away on or after February 28, 2026. Tags are no longer visible publicly, but are still available to contributors in the edit view until February 28, 2026. If you miss this deadline, you can still add topics to your resources, but you won’t be able to see the former tags. If you prefer not to make updates, your resources will still be discoverable by keyword search, discipline, and more. For more information, please reach out to acrlsandbox@gmail.com.

Quote Tracing Activity

February 14, 2022

The purpose of this activity is to recognize how a quote can be taken out of context in subtle (and overt) ways. The goal is to locate a quote within a news article and trace it through multiple layers of context to discover how journalists’ interpretations of quotes impact our understanding of actual events and news.
