Professor Antonio Prohias

Special Agent Debrarian is the director of the FBI's Office of Library Investigations. She has passionately investigated libraries and librarians since her uncle was found murdered beneath an overturned book cart in the Library of Congress.

Professor Antonio Prohias has gone missing. The multi-talented Prohias taught both cryptography and fine art at FSCJ's South Campus. Rumors have circulated for years that Professor Prohias is actually a spy. He was last seen arguing loudly with Miss Hushman outside the library.

Mercy Hushman has been a librarian for over 25 years. In her spare time she enjoys cats, comfortable footwear, and organizing her spice rack alphabetically. Colleagues have noted that in recent years Miss Hushman has become increasingly vocal about students' lack of information literacy skills.

Dear Diary, I feel like I'm going mad. So many of our college students don't understand that they can't use just any website in their papers. The information must be accurate! What's the POINT of using a website that references "scientists" or "experts" instead of a name you can verify? Similarly, some students think they will SHINE if they only use .org sources. Someday, I hope they come 'ROUND to verify the expertise of the source.

Hey! What about Professor Prohias?

Surprise! There is no Professor Prohias at FSCJ. The real Antonio Prohias was a political cartoonist in Cuba during the 1950’s. He published many cartoons critical of communism and Fidel Castro. Castro became so incensed by the cartoons that he accused Prohias of being an agent of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. You might even say Prohias was a victim of fake news. He fled to the United States in 1960, where he became the artist behind the Spy vs Spy cartoons featured for decades in Mad Magazine.
