Core e-Forum: We Faceted our Seatbelts, Now What? Advocacy for Implementing
Faceted Vocabularies in Public Facing Interfaces

May 18-19, 2021

Moderated by Kurt Hanselman, Jesse Lambertson, and Nerissa Lindsey

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

With more efforts underway to scale up or fully implement faceted
vocabularies such as the Library of Congress Demographic Group Terms
(LCDGT), Library of Congress Genre Form Terms (LCGFT), or Faceted
Application of Subject Terminology (FAST) in cataloging and metadata work,
a new challenge arises: How to convince discovery teams or public service
colleagues to adopt these vocabularies in the public-facing, discovery
tools, OPACs or other search interfaces? This e-forum looks at the role
advocacy plays in negotiating the full utilization of the faceted data
cataloging and metadata professionals are so diligently adding as part of
their work.

Topics may include the following:

• What are some advocacy success stories? What advocacy strategies or
opportunities were used in achieving those successes?

• What challenges have folks encountered in advocating for the
implementation of faceted vocabularies in their discovery or other public
facing interfaces. How were those challenges navigated?

• What are the potential benefits of wider understanding of the faceted
data catalogers and metadata professionals are applying in their work
brought about by advocacy efforts?

What Is an e-Forum?

A Core e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of
interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The
e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email
address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate
with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two
to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
