Masked By Trust : Bias In Library Discovery<https://ccrls.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/oslpublic/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:1533937/ada?qu=bias+library+discovery> by Matthew Reidsma. Litwin Books, 2019. 978-1-63400-083-e.

>From the publisher: "Examines library discovery systems to show how the algorithms that power them are not the neutral and unbiased systems that they are claimed to be, but are affected by the human biases of programmers and the commercial influences of their production."
