Post-truth rhetoric, relativism, and teaching on “Authority as Constructed and Contextual”	2018-02-01	5	.pdf	application/pdf	2697	121	38	For exam- ple, students might consider principles of source authority that are generally agreed upon across many communities. Though this complex issue is beyond the scope of this essay, there is a growing body of research on in- formation literacy and motivated reasoning that will also enrich librarians’ approaches to the Authority frame (for example, Mark Lenker and Geoff Walton).8 While our pedagogical approaches are— and will continue to be—wide-ranging and multifaceted, they can remain grounded in an understanding of source authority as contextual, not arbitrary, and in shared un- derstandings of concepts like fact, evidence, argument, and reasoning.	cache/crln-16877.pdf	txt/crln-16877.txt
