Hi Caitlin, I like the point that you made about subject guides not teaching students how to assess bias in the resources they’ve provided. At first I wondered if this should be the role of a reference librarian. However, if reference is becoming irrelevant, as some sources suggest, I wonder if this could become a component of their work in academic libraries. It is an important skill in any discipline, but particularly a field like Peace Studies and Politics.
