Webinar: How Searches Fail: Cognitive Bias and What To Do About It

The problem of cognitive bias -- irrational decision-making -- has been studied in fields such as economics, sports, business and medicine. Librarians are not immune. Join us for some meta-cognition -- thinking about thinking -- and learn how we can minimize our personal biases to improve our literature searching.
