This Presentation Will Make You Uncomfortable: Flagging Problematic Language in Discovery Tools
Conference Track
2. Collection Development & Assessment
Abstract
The critical cataloging (#critcat) movement has shone new light on problematic language in our controlled vocabularies. This presentation highlights a collaboration by liberal arts college libraries to confront systemic bias in our discovery tools, not by “fixing” it, but by calling attention to it and inviting dialogue with our communities.
