Steps to Increase Public Trust in Science
In the second episode of this four-part series on The Authority File, Tracey Brown, director of Sense about Science, and Camille Gamboa, associate vice president of corporate communications at Sage, reflect on key takeaways from Sage and Sense about Science’s guide on increasing public trust in research, The People’s Case for Curators.
They discuss the similarities and differences between editors, librarians, and journalists in their contributions to the information landscape. Despite distinct processes and criteria, each group works to get vetted information to readers. In addition, the pair explain why they want to make the invisible work of public-good curators visible and provide steps — informed by the guide — on how everyone can spotlight curators’ efforts.
The Authority File is a weekly podcast series sponsored by Choice, the publishing unit of the Association of College and Research Libraries, which is itself a division of the American Library Association.
