Selling Secondary Students on the Deep Web: Database Instruction in the Age of AI

AI had made resource discernment more critical than ever. Students ask more and more why they can't just ask ChatGPT, and they're no longer sold on the canned responses about information integrity and source evaluation. What they do respond to are the ethos of the deep web and the street cred of a paywall. This workshop will outline the new research sales pitch for media specialists in the age of AI.
