- Traditional cataloging practices like subject headings can be outdated, inaccurate, lack specificity, and reflect 19th century biases. This limits discoverability and access.
- Indigenous knowledge organization should be developed collaboratively between cultural institutions and non-dominant communities to better represent their cultural heritage.
- Contemporary solutions include changing subject headings based on crowd-sourcing, using institution-specific organization, or building classification systems from the ground up according to community values.

This document discusses the use of linked open data (LOD) in archives and libraries. LOD uses structured data, controlled vocabularies, and URIs to demonstrate relationships between entities on the web. This enables discovery by linking related data and resources. The document provides examples of LOD projects in archives, such as SNAC, and in libraries, such as BIBFRAME. It discusses why LOD is useful for archives, such as improving findability and connectivity of archival resources. Indigenous cataloging using traditional knowledge labels is also summarized as a way to reintroduce historically lost collections and make them accessible according to indigenous community rules.

This document discusses efforts to 'queer' or decolonize traditional knowledge organization systems by making them more inclusive of LGBTQ+ communities and perspectives. It provides a brief history of advocacy work beginning in the 1970s to improve subject headings and classification of LGBTQ+ materials. More recently, librarians in Durham created a new classification system for an LGBTQ+ center to better represent those communities. Future directions may include more tagging systems, multiple access points, and non-standardized schemas, though some argue for updating terms while retaining older ones. The goal is to respectfully weave LGBTQ+ communities into the conversation around knowledge organization."

The American Library Association’s 1982 statement on Diversity in Collection Development reminds librarians of the professional responsibility “to select and support the access to materials on all subjects that meet, as closely as possible, the needs, interests, and abilities of all persons in the community the library serves. This includes materials that reflect political, economic, religious, social, minority, and sexual issues.” In an effort to ensure that the collection of the William H. Hannon Library (of Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, California, USA {LMU}) aligns with its institutional vision (including “bridging disciplines” and “representing diverse topics and perspectives”) and meets the research needs of a diverse campus population, a team of library staff has designed a project to assess the library’s electronic collection through the lens of diversity. While some similar studies have been done at larger research institutions (notably that of Ciszek and Young (2010)), this project further interrogates inclusivity in database collections and integrates LMU student learning into the research process. The results of the evaluation will inform the library collection strategy and ensure that collections are built that deliberately and positively contribute to an inclusive campus climate.

The document discusses how public libraries are using Web 2.0 technologies to promote information literacy. It defines information literacy as the ability to recognize when information is needed and locate, evaluate, and effectively use that information. Public libraries play a role in teaching patrons how to find information both physically and online, as well as how to evaluate information from various sources and properly use and cite it. The document reviews literature on this topic and provides examples of how libraries are already promoting information literacy through social media. It concludes by requesting additional sources on the integration of Web 2.0 in information literacy instruction.

Bringing social justice behind the scenes: transforming the work of technical...
Inspired by the excellent work of the MIT Libraries, I recently advocated for, and was successful in creating, a Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice Working Group at the Vassar College Libraries. I co-chair this group along with my colleague, Rachel Finn, and our membership represents a cross-section of library departments, and includes a mix of managers, administrators, and unionized staff.
Though our work is currently in the beginning stages, I am interested in developing a presentation for NASIG that looks specifically at ways in which values of social justice can be integrated into the day-to-day work of technical services. Frequently, social justice initiatives are thought of as activities belonging to outreach staff, or more public-facing staff; such initiatives exist alongside the daily work of librarianship rather than being fully integrated within it. I think there are opportunities for this work to happen within the technical services sphere, but it requires taking a hard look at existing workflows and staff capacity. Much of technical services work is built around the idea of "efficiencies," but what are we sacrificing in the name of efficiency? In the name of conveniences? In the zine librarian community (in which I am active) we have standards surrounding the idea of ethical acquisitions--what would that look like if it were to be developed for technical services more broadly? In the area of collections, how could we enhance diversity and inclusion by backing out of the big deal and/or approval plans? What would the impact on technical services departments be and how would be absorb that work? In the area of vendor performance, are we ready to sever ties with corporations that aren't centering social justice in their own work?
Again, this work at Vassar is only in the early stages; however, this is a moment when Vassar College as a whole is looking very seriously at transforming the academic and residential life of our community through the work of the Engaged Pluralism Initiative. My hope is that we will be able to build on this momentum and contribute to positive changes in campus climate.
I would like the opportunity to speak about our process, enumerate our short-term goals, and talk more about our aspirations for bringing real change to existing department workflows.

NCompass Live: Community Engagement: Straight Talk
NCompass Live - January 29, 2020
http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/
Innovation encompasses far more than technology. One of the most exciting trends in 21st century libraries is the emphasis on restructuring and reinventing our roles in our communities. A huge part of this discussion revolves around the term "Community Engagement". And while this sounds grand and fancy, things often get blurry when we are pressed to define it, implement it, and (the most daunting of all) measure it.
It’s time to cut through ambiguity and put concrete parameters around this evasive topic. This discussion will center around the following questions about community engagement: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and HOW?
Participants will leave with a clear definition of Community Engagement, along with the framework for how to build a Community Engagement plan. One size doesn’t fit all. Your library is uniquely special and to honor this fact, this interactive hour will include brainstorming about what’s right for your library and community. This discussion will be supported by concrete examples and case studies from libraries who have implemented successful community engagement plans.
This conversation is for everyone in the public library. The secret to effective community engagement involves the whole team; we all have an important part to play.

Closing the Gender Gap on Wikimedia
The document summarizes efforts to close the gender gap on Wikipedia by increasing representation of women as editors and subjects of articles. It discusses initiatives like Art+Feminism edit-a-thons held globally in partnership with cultural institutions to generate content about women and encourage more female editors. It also describes programs run by Wikimedia UK, the national charity, including events with libraries, museums, and universities in the UK to recruit editors and improve coverage of topics related to women's history and contributions. The goal is for Wikipedia to better reflect society by addressing systemic bias and a lack of diversity among its editors.
Thingamabrarians
This document discusses social librarianship and social libraries. It defines social librarianship as professional and non-professional librarians interacting online to catalog books and media. Social libraries allow users to build online catalogs and connect with others. Reasons for their popularity include collecting books for insurance purposes and finding recommendations. The document suggests ways libraries can get involved through participating in discussions and cataloging their collections on social library sites.

LIS590SJL: Social Justice in Information Professions: Catching Up to the PresentMelissa Cardenas-Dow
This document discusses social justice in libraries through three themes:
1. Social Justice in Our Leadership discusses the American Library Association's history of advocating for social justice and diversity, though it took many years after the organization's founding to have women and racial minorities in leadership roles.
2. Contemporary Social Justice Issues looks at how librarians have advocated on the ground for issues like HIV/AIDS, apartheid, and responses to war and terrorism. It also discusses challenges with community engagement.
3. Moving Forward debates whether librarians should take an activist role or remain neutral, and how to balance intellectual freedom with social responsibility. It questions what authentic activism within the profession might look like.Library Essay Writing
Libraries have historically served various missions over time. Originally, libraries maintained records and archives, but over centuries took on additional roles like promoting scholarship, religion, education, and national pride. In modern times, libraries emerged to support self-improvement as more people had leisure time during the Industrial Revolution. Today, libraries provide information to support individual improvement and education. Selection of library materials has also evolved as electronic resources have grown alongside traditional print materials, challenging librarians to maintain a balanced collection that meets the needs of various users.
Zine cataloguing, ethics and future discovery / Joshua Barton
This document discusses the challenges of cataloging zines while respecting the privacy and safety of their creators. It notes that zine creators value anonymity and keeping sensitive personal details private. However, zines are also important historical resources. The document examines how cataloging practices could impact or endanger zine creators, and calls for adopting an "ethics of care" and "radical empathy" towards both creators and users. It argues that with additional visibility comes additional vulnerability, and metadata work on zines requires high-level skills, contextual knowledge, and a commitment to protecting creators through consultation and informed practices.
The Role of Public Libraries in Fueling a Can Do Culture
1. The document discusses how public libraries can define their purpose in a way that emphasizes expanding what people can do and fueling a "can do" culture, rather than just focusing on services provided.
2. It provides examples of libraries that facilitate capability-building, community, collaboration, and spark creativity through tools and spaces for exploration.
3. The document argues that communicating a higher purpose focused on empowering people of all ages and abilities could increase libraries' influence and financial support in a changing technological landscape.
Bernie Launch
The document discusses the role of libraries in building social capital and connecting communities. It provides background on the Chicago Public Library system, noting its large size, diverse collections and programming, and presence in neighborhoods throughout Chicago. The library aims to bridge different groups and provide equal access to information. Key to its success are partnerships with other organizations, programming that promotes learning and social connections, and services like homework help for students and digital skills training.

Copying & Scanning Zines for Interlibrary Loan and Incarcerated People
This survey from the Barnard Zine Library asked zine makers about their comfort with the library photocopying or scanning portions of zines.

Opinions were mixed on copying full zines or portions for remote or incarcerated patrons, with many only comfortable if the zine is out of print.

Barnard Zine Library: Privileging Creators
Barnard Zine Library policies and procedures are intended to be responsive to and reflective of zine community ethos. Honoring a zine maker's request to remove her zine from one's collection can provoke ethical fisticuffs in a zine librarian/librarian zinester's heart. To whom is the feminist archivist of living authors' materials more responsible, the authors themselves or researchers from the future? And to distant researchers? If we want the voices represented in the Barnard Zine Library--default female, as often as not queer, often young, usually radical, women of color emphasized, etc.--to be part of the archival narrative of the late 20th/early 21st century is it a mistake to privilege the zines' creators wishes? As Kate Eichhorn posits in The Archival Turn in Feminism can "…item-level cataloging of marginal materials holds more potential for subversion than simply digitizing the same materials." even for remote users of our collection? This paper will explore how, influenced by our location in an institution peopled by faculty and scholars that integrate intersectional feminisms into their lives and work, it is ultimately reasonable to have a creator-centric philosophy inform our decision-making.
