Event Description
Join your colleagues for A Day for Catalogers where we will delve into Subject Analysis for Copy Catalogers and Harm Reduction in Library Classification.
Respecting Authority: An Intro to Subject Analysis for Copy Catalogers (Morning Session)
Pernicious biases in subject headings and library classification schemes have been discussed at length, but how should our profession best address those biases? While resource description can never be neutral, using a harm reduction framework can help us identify potentially alienating terminology. Participants will learn how they can become active partners in democratizing classification to introduce more diverse perspectives. Violet will talk about Dewey, LCC, and LCSH so both public and academic librarians will find something of interest in the presentation. Location
