[Wactclc-alma] Decolonizing the Catalog webinar

Wed Jun 16 10:29:06 PDT 2021

Thanks, Kirsti. This will be very interesting. I'm particularly interested in this part:

Hobart's discussion will be followed by a presentation that explores one effort to update subject authorities related to African American Studies in conjunction with the Library of Congress.

with Elizabeth Hobart, Staci Ross, Michelle Cronquist, and Kelly Farrell

90-minute webinar on Wednesday, July 7, 2021 at Noon Central

A panel of experts will explore recent efforts to draw attention to and amend harmful language in library records related to the African American experience in the United States. This 90-minute webinar will be divided into three parts:

First, Elizabeth Hobart will discuss the inadequacy of current subject headings related to anti-racism and the difficulties that patrons face in locating anti-racism books in the library catalog. She will draw from her recently published article in C&RL "Antiracism in the Catalog: An Analysis of Records." Hobart's discussion will be followed by a presentation that explores one effort to update subject authorities related to African American Studies in conjunction with the Library of Congress.

Staci Ross and Michelle Cronquist will detail their work as Co-Chairs of the African American Subject Funnel Project. They will describe the process that they go through to update subject headings, and assess the successes and challenges that they've faced in getting revisions approved.

The webinar will end with a final discussion of local efforts by the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN) to remap problematic, outdated, and offensive LC Subject Headings by "replacing" these terms in their public catalog/ discovery layer. Kelly Farrell a Program Officer at TRLN will be presenting on this collaborative effort.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during the final 30 minutes of the webinar.
