#SCURLEDI
Thank you to @SCURLScottish, @CilipMDG & their speakers for an informative conference on #EDI policies & practices in libraries! #ScurlEDI π«
Looking at @ALALibrary/@ARLnews 's framework for racial equity with Mark Puente and DeLa Dos and Mark Puente #scurledi @SCURLScottish
3. building cross-sector cultural proficiency; influencing & affecting change in other areas
4. antiracist leadership
#SCURLEDI
The Framework is the grounding needed to effect change in thinking & behaviour & includes:
1. addressing & interrogating how white supremacy, white privilege & racism show up in libraries
2. accountability, assessment & implementation
#SCURLEDI
@lkonstantelos @reese_terry @OCLC @bibdsl @ALALibrary @ARLnews Work on Building Cultural Proficiencies for Racial Equity began via 4 Developing Working Groups covering a Survey, Glossary, Data & Competencies and the Framework itself #SCURLEDI
@lkonstantelos @reese_terry @OCLC @bibdsl @ALALibrary @ARLnews Building Cultural Proficiencies for Racial Equity framework helps build inclusive cultures within libraries... through guidelines on development & implementation of organizational policies & professional practices that support diverse libraries with a diverse workforce #SCURLEDI
@lkonstantelos @reese_terry @OCLC @bibdsl We now move to the #SCURLEDI Keynote "@ALALibrary / @ARLnews Cultural Proficiencies for Racial Equity: A Framework" with DeLa Dos and Mark Puente, with contributions in absentia from Christina Fuller-Gregory
@lkonstantelos @reese_terry There is also a need to communicate the importance of EDI in #metadata to our system providers, content suppliers & vendors, & the external creators & suppliers of library metadata that we interact with (such as @OCLC & @bibdsl ) - this is easier if we work together! #SCURLEDI
@lkonstantelos There is scope to bring together #ethicalcataloguing and #EDI with technical skills development - if your library is using tools like @reese_terry's #MarcEdit to make changes to terminology in bib records then share what you are doing with the community #SCURLEDI
@lkonstantelos We can add extensions, content advisories, external contextual information to our metadata as a way of practising EDI & #ethicalcataloguing - we have to accept that there will always be subjectivity & bias in bibliographic description & our use of terminology #SCURLEDI
@lkonstantelos speaks about #metadata over time - altering records retrospectively is time-consuming & can be expensive, there is a burden on us today to apologise for the terminology used in the past; should we alter/change this terminology or simply contextualise it? #SCURLEDI
This is the balance between 'quick wins' locally and 'long term change' globally - ultimately if the terminology in an LCSH is inappropriate or offensive, individual libraries have the power to decide not to use it, even if the LoC is slow to change it. #SCURLEDI
@AndyMcAinsh responds saying that libraries can lobby for change on the macro scale (eg to LCSH via NACO & SACO funnels) as well as making changes at the local level. - But change can be slow & unsatisfactory so local changes will always be necessary #SCURLEDI #changethesubject
A question about #MetadataSharing and the need for common #Standards, in particular #SubjectHeadings - if we locally change our terminology to be more inclusive do we move to a point where we can no longer share our records & be interoperable with others? #SCURLEDI
@infogamerist says "Join your local Metadata Group!" - that way we can work together on #EDI initiatives that involve #metadata & #cataloguing - @cigscot & @CilipMDG would love to have you on board! #SCURLEDI
Equally, links with local communities can help to garner support & momentum for EDI initiatives; @lkonstantelos refers to his previous work in Melbourne, Australia which involved indigenous communities #SCURLEDI
