Archives and oral history: the great loves of my life.

[KaitlintheArchivist @TheArKCHivist]

Twitter: what does it do? How can we use it? Why should you care? Tomorrow, we'll be exploring the Twitterverse as LIS professionals (-in-training) through my workshop, Twitter for LIS Professionals held at @SimmonsSLIS.

@EvilArchivist I tried, I guess?

When more is not better. #resist #oclcdss

"Who would see this differently?" #oclcdss

[Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian]

The juxtaposition of archiving indigenous languages while eliminating them from practice is breathtakingly upsetting. #oclcdss

[Merrilee Proffitt @MerrileeIAm]

Incorportation of actual voices into the digitized items breathes life into and gives meaning to flat "nuetral" descriptions #oclcdss

[Roger C. Schonfeld @rschon]

@mukurtu No defaults to controlled vocabularies (esp not LC categories) given problematic nature of these. Everything flexible. #OCLCdss

[Alison M. Greenlee @alisongreenlee]

Mukurtu CMS uses community-curated, keywords/tags, not problematic controlled vocab/LCSH. #OCLCdss

[Seri💙 @puyi_1]

Library Congress of subject headings were hostile towards indigenous descriptions #OCLCDSS

[OSU Copyright @OSUCopyright]

Indigenous folks often don't have (c). Traditional Knowledge labels allows communities to provide information on cultural items. #oclcdss

[OCLC @OCLC]

Traditional Knowledge (TK) labels within Mukurtu metadata #OCLCDSS

[Bibliojo @Bibliojo]

#oclcdss realities of diverse stakeholders . practical solutions. W/Library / archives standards, practices

[KaitlintheArchivist @TheArKCHivist]

Tuning into #oclcdss of @OCLC featuring @mukurtu: "We Have Never Been Neutral: Search, Discovery, and the Politics of Access."

[KaitlintheArchivist @TheArKCHivist]

Also as a sidenote (which is all too revealing of how new to this profession I am...) I can't believe @OCLC is 50!

@Mack_Davison See you in the @SLIStech Lab tomorrow~

[KaitlintheArchivist @TheArKCHivist]

I'm not saying that I'm really good at it now, but I think I was made to be an oral historian-archivist.

[KaitlintheArchivist @TheArKCHivist]

Half way through @oralhistorylab's crash course and I've fallen deeper in love with oral history and its intricacies!
