Hi #medlibs and others in academic #libraries
What are your collection development policies around books that contain medical misinformation and also are desired reading by your library users who are studying misinformation, political science, etc?
@nyhan We don't have anything like that in our coldev policy (regional state school w/ nursing and nutrition but no other medical degrees). But if something were to come up, I suspect we'd handle it via cataloging (notes in local fields). Depending on the age of the item, though, a subject librarian might just weed it without thinking about the study of misinfo.
