Luc Fagnan is presenting on Decolonizing Description: First Steps to Cataloguing with Cree Syllabics and Inuktitut Syllabics! #FIPCON2020
Fagnan: Inuit and Cree languages have several dialects. We must avoid placing all dialects into a single box and treat them as distinct. #FIPCON2020
Fagnan: future steps in Decolonizing Description β community collaboration, focus on relationality, install syllabic-recognizing software, improve facets to represent dialects, transliteration in keyboards #FIPCON2020
Fagnan: Inuktitut keyboard available in Microsoft Windows (all you need to do is download it!) #FIPCON2020
Wikipedia and researchers are aware of Wikipedia's systemic bias but there are few studies about intentional bias in Wikipedia editing behavior.
Editor motivations include a sense of responsibility in shaping perceptions of a certain person or topic.

Ongaro: Why is this a LIS issue? Media literacy is an importance aspect of teaching literacy skills to patrons. The digital media landscape is ever evolving and requires constant effort to keep up with it. #FIPCON2020
Kathleen Oliver's presenting on identifying bias by looking at the editing history of Wikipedia editors!

Carley Angelstad's resource guide on Disrupting White Supremacy: https://t.co/HJCP82BJlJ
Carley looked specifically at how white library workers already in the field can make changes, particularly in regards to hiring practices. #FIPCON2020
Thank you Carley!
Angelstad on staff training: Do staff know how to respond to racist remarks and advocate for patrons in the face of racism? Carley has put together a resource guide to work through some of these questions. #FIPCON2020
Angelstad: Very powerful when organizations and institutions call others to action in condemning white supremacy.
Thunder Bay Public Library, for example: "[...] racism is the probelm and only a strong anti-racism response is the answer". #FIPCON2020
By defining others, whiteness defines itself.
Angelstad: If we believe that systemic racism and systemic privilege are real, we can begin to see how libraries are also entrenched in the structure of white supremacism. #FIPCON2020
Carley Angelstad is presenting "Disrupting White Supremacy in the Library: It Starts With You"
80% of librarians are white, 72% of library patrons are white. To better understand how racism works in our society, it's important to understand what it means to be white. #FIPCON2020
