[Eril-l] Two NASIG Equity & Inclusion Webinars in May (Free for NASIG members)

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Hi all,

 

Join the NASIG Continuing Education and Equity & Inclusion Committees for
two free Equity & Inclusion webinars in May:

 

"It isn't part of our language": Self-naming and Indigenous Peoples in
Library Data

 

Date: May 6, 2026

Time: 2:00-3:00PM EDT

Registration: https://nasig.org/event-6645159

4r9QqsMlmlFh3uE$>  

Speakers: Laura Daniels and Steven Folsom, Cornell University Library.

 

Description: 

The Haudenosaunee (People of the Long House) are a confederacy of six
sovereign nations: Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora.
These are all "other names," Anglicized forms of their autonym or
self-names. Cornell University is located on the unceded land of the Cayuga
Nation, thus the name used for these people in Cornell's library catalog is
of particular concern to the presenters. This presentation (based on a book
chapter by the presenters in Inclusive Cataloging: Philosophical Questions
and Case Studies in Reparative Cataloging) will describe the thought process
and methods the authors used to engage with Haudenosaunee leaders to
facilitate self-naming in the Library of Congress Subject Headings.

 

The presenters will also report on what's happened since the chapter was
published, including forthcoming and ongoing changes to the Library of
Congress's guidelines and approaches to representing Indigenous peoples.

Inox4r9QqsMlAd0nMG8$> 

Speakers:  Amy Mikel (Brooklyn Public Library) and Miriam Gloger (BookOps)

 

Description:

Amy Mikel (Brooklyn Public Library) and Miriam Gloger (BookOps) will share
reparative cataloging practices undertaken by BPL and the ongoing efforts to
design a sustainable and evolving approach that is collaborative, inclusive,
and cross-institutional to serve diverse stakeholders within a large urban
public library system. The session will detail opportunities,
considerations, and technical strategies for libraries looking to implement
and support inclusive cataloging by using local terms in the OPAC, and
processes for flagging and addressing outdated, offensive, biased, or
misapplied terms from LCSH and other standard thesauri.
