Introduction & Background

In our roles as instruction librarians at the Health Sciences Library System (HSLS) at the University of Pittsburgh, we have seen an increasing need for educating both students and the general public in identifying and confronting health misinformation and have taken steps to meet that need (Cowles et al., 2024).

In 2022, for example, we began to run an escape room created by the University of Washington Center for an Informed Public called “The Euphorigen Investigation,” (The University of Washington Center for an Informed Public, n.d.) both at public libraries and on campus.

"I use Doody's Core Titles throughout the year to update our collection. Once the new list is available, the Essential [Purchase] titles are reviewed. Those books that relate to our library are purchased right away.  When our patrons suggest titles…I check to see if it has an expert review and/or Doody's score before I make my decision. Prior to weeding a title that seems old I check to see if it is still current by looking on the Doody's Core Titles. To fill gaps in our collection it is easy to find a title to add by looking at New This Month or the Titles By Specialty. Needless to say, Doody's Core Titles is our main collection development tool.
