Keeping up with ... implicit bias

ACRL have a Keeping Up with series, and the latest briefing is Keeping up with ... implicit bias. This is, of course, advising how to recognise and guard against implicit bias "Creating inclusive libraries requires intentionally. The unconscious nature of implicit bias makes it impossible to eradicate completely, but when librarians are aware of their biases they can be intentional about minimizing the negative effects.".
