Trust and Authority in the Information Environment
Presented by Chris Filstrup; Librarian, Research & Instruction Services
The ways libraries select information from a large set of resources depend primarily on trust rather than on a rational analysis of the information itself. Yet trust as a value is not absolute: some agencies are trustworthy, others are not. As individuals how to individual librarians negotiate the messy arena of socially constructed knowledge? When do we trust, when do we tie the camel?
