NISO Webinar, Combating the Misuse of Information - May 10, 2023

Description

One of the great challenges of the information environment is the constant need to avoid misuse or deliberate misinterpretation of information. This is as much of a problem for those working in the content sector as it is for those working in the library or classroom. The distrust that it creates is a disservice to scientists, scholars, and researchers in all fields. There are no easy solutions, but the participants in this roundtable discussion shared creative ways of combating the problem and protecting the value and credibility of the research they — and we — rely on.
