Session Abstract

University of Central Oklahoma’s Max Chambers Library is committed to serving underrepresented communities. One way this is accomplished is through the professional catalogers' dedication to accurately and respectfully describing materials relating to underrepresented communities. They are actively taking steps to ameliorate these problematic practices that directly affect the Central community's access to library resources. In addition to retrospective projects, the library’s Systems division is working on creating a culture that supports inclusive metadata practices, both within the library and regionally in Oklahoma—which presents its own challenges in a deeply conservative state. Join us to learn about our initiatives and where we hope to take them next.
