*Register early and save your seat for "Diverse, Inclusive, and Equitable
Metadata,” an ALCTS Virtual Preconference prior to 2017 ALA Annual
Conference*[image: ALA Annual 2017]
<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT02MzY2MjUxJnA9MSZ1PTEwNzMyMTYwNDMmbGk9NDE3NTI1MDQ/index.html>

How are metadata creators developing methods to encourage the creation of
metadata that represents diverse points of view? How does using sources of
authority control such as LCSH contribute to misrepresentation of cultural
heritage materials? Are our digital libraries equitable? The two-day
virtual preconference *Diverse, Inclusive, and Equitable Metadata*
