On 26 February at 14.00-1500 GMT there is a webinar organised by the CILIP Information Literacy Group: Information Literacy, data and evidence removal in the US. It is free to CILIP members, £5 to others.
"During the US government shutdown in October and November of last year, many of us saw the notice on the PubMed website warning that information on the site may not be being updated. For many of us in the information literacy community, this brought into focus how events in the US are affecting our own access to and use of information. In this webinar, we will hear from Isobel Eddyshaw, an Academic Liaison Librarian at the University of Exeter. In this talk, Isobel will go through and explain some of the current changes in the US, their impact on data and evidence removal on databases, as well as how she put together the LibGuide. This will be a 30 minute presentation, followed by a 30 minute Q and A, and offers a chance for us as information professionals to discuss our concerns and share how changes in the US are affecting our practice."
