A recording of the June 11 ACRL Together Wherever presentation: Teaching Computer Science Students About Algorithm Bias.
As the information universe becomes increasingly dominated by algorithms, librarians have a role in partnering with other information scientists to ensure that libraries can be spaces where communities can optimize their search for information. Librarians, Karen Howell, Sheree Fu, and Shalini Ramachandran, and computer science professor, Steven Cutchin, consider whether an information literacy component focused on algorithmic bias would be beneficial to offer to students in the computational sciences and if so, how best to design the instruction. We share the instructional materials to address the differences between student perceptions of algorithm bias and the existing documentation of algorithm bias.
