Join us Friday, 9 June 2023 for our semi-annual Cataloging Community Meeting. During this free, virtual event, you will hear from cataloging community members about recent and forthcoming initiatives to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in library metadata. We're excited to announce the following DEI agenda for June's meeting:
The U.S. Board on Geographic Names – An Overview of the Processes for Approving Geographic Names for Federal Use | Betsy Kanalley, Geospatial Products and Services Program Manager, USDA Forest Service
Reparative Geographic Name Changes: Case Studies in Cataloging | Kate James, Program Coordinator, Metadata Engagement, OCLC
Queering the Catalog: SACO Gender and Sexuality Funnel | Margaret Breidenbaugh, Library Specialist, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College | Maya Espersen, Cataloging Coordinator, Aurora Public Library (Colorado)
Rapid Harm Reduction Through Locally Defined Subjects in WorldCat Discovery | Grace McGann, Associate Product Manager, Delivery Services, OCLC
Following the DEI panel, OCLC staff will provide updates on cataloging services as well as WorldCat metadata quality initiatives. This event provides the opportunity to engage with panelists, OCLC staff, and your fellow cataloging community members-questions are encouraged.
