Since the 2016 presidential election, hyper-partisanship has become a regular facet of the political landscape with Democrats and Republicans in increasing conflict. The purpose of this paper is to determine if perception of government sources related to trust and credibility has changed since the 2016 election and if the experiences and strategies of librarians who teach or consult about government information has changed in response to this environment.,A 24-question survey was distributed to garner qualitative and quantitative responses from librarians who teach or consult about government information in an academic environment. A total of 122 responses were used for analysis.,Academic librarians are seeing more concern from patrons about disappearing online government information and wider distrust of government information. Librarians also noticed that the political leanings of students color their perspective around government sources and that librarians also need to keep their political beliefs in check. Respondents emphasized a need for more government literacy and information literacy topics when discussing evaluation of government sources.,The data collection only included responses from academic librarians. Further research could include in-depth interviews and look at experiences in various library types.,With the timeliness of this topic, there has not been an in-depth investigation into how the Trump administration has changed user trust and perception of government sources from the librarian’s point of view. This paper continues the conversation about how librarians can address the growing distrust of government information and give us insight into the effects of a turbulent political climate on government sources.

动荡的时刻:政府发起2016年总统大选

自2016年总统大选以来,与民主党人和共和党人之间的冲突日益加剧,超党派主义已成为政治格局的常规方面。本文的目的是确定自2016年大选以来对与信任和信誉相关的政府资源的看法是否已改变,以及在这种环境下响应教书或咨询政府信息的图书馆员的经验和策略是否已改变。,A 24进行了问卷调查,以收集在学术环境中教授或咨询政府信息的图书馆员的定性和定量反应。总共使用了122条回应进行分析。学术图书馆馆员越来越感到赞助者对在线政府信息的消失和对政府信息的更大不信任。图书馆员还注意到,学生的政治倾向使他们的观点围绕政府资源而来,并且图书馆员还需要控制其政治信仰。受访者在讨论对政府资源的评估时强调需要更多的政府素养和信息素养主题。数据收集仅包括大学图书馆员的回应。进一步的研究可能包括深度访谈,并考察各种图书馆类型的经验。由于本主题的时效性,尚未对特朗普政府如何改变用户信任度以及政府对政府资源的看法进行了深入调查。馆员的观点。
