Winter is Coming... and so is a new MavScholar!

This winter, Library Services will update many of its online systems. These updates will result in a new MavScholar! Library employees have already begun work on this migration. We hope to move forward with minimal inconvenience to Minnesota State Mankato students, faculty, and staff. However, this migration will impact the way you search for library materials, your online Library account, and any links you may have saved to records in MavScholar or the library catalog

Also, from January 24 through January 29, 2019, the library system will enter a brief freeze for the final stage of the migration. This freeze will temporarily affect the availability of some services, including interlibrary loan and online renewals.

For more details about how this migration will impact you, visit our guide MavScholar & Library System Migration Guide at libguides.mnsu.edu/migration. For additional questions and concerns, contact Metadata & Emerging Technologies Librarian Bobby Bothmann at robert.bothmann@mnsu.edu.

Updated Confirmation Bias Assignment!

We were recently requested to modify our Confirmation Bias Tutorial... so we made a new version! Confirmation Bias Tutorial 2.0 is still a comprehensive lesson on Confirmation bias, but we've made the following changes:

• The tutorial starts with the coffee assignment from our Confirmation Bias Assignment
• The Ted Talk was removed from this draft (makes it shorter!)
• Easy-to-read steps and tips at the end

This assignment is a great comprehensive lesson, but we'd love to hear what you think! Do you like version 2.0 better or the original Confirmation Bias Tutorial? You can send your feedback to Jenny Turner at jennifer.turner@mnsu.edu
