Workshop Library Academy
The most widely used search engines and databases - Google Scholar, Web of Science, etc. - however, have an important commonality: they exhibit a strong bias toward English-language publications from large (read “Western”) publishers and highly regarded journals. This makes relevant but non-mainstream literature less likely to be found, such as non-English publications or work by authors not working in “Western Countries”. In this workshop, these biases will be addressed, as well as ways to perform inclusive searches in search engines and databases.
