Decolonizing the Library/Decolonize the Catalogue:

Tuesday, Sept. 27 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the library computer lab (6C.2)

The library’s Technical Services team invites interested students, faculty and staff to join us for a behind-the-scenes look at our efforts to “Decolonize the Catalogue.” This initiative is rooted in a commitment to identify and remove outdated and problematic subject headings in our library’s classification scheme (The Library of Congress), and to replace them with more inclusive and accurate headings. This session will share the inner workings of our project, which is guided by the work of other large-scale initiatives.
