[OPLINLIST] Last chance: Don’t miss Inclusive Cataloging on Jan. 23!

[Lisa Witmer]

Do you manage your institution’s collection records? Don’t miss our upcoming webinar, “Inclusive Cataloging<https://www.ohionet.org/event/inclusive-cataloging-3>,” on January 23 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

For over 120 years, Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) have been used by libraries of all types across the country to organize their collections and help their communities find what they need.

However, LCSH can be complex to use and difficult to understand, with its subdivisions and pattern headings. And, LCSH has been notoriously slow to update language, even as terms become outdated and come to hold new meanings.

If you manage the collection records for your institution, consider joining us for this introductory webinar<https://www.ohionet.org/event/inclusive-cataloging-3> on inclusive cataloging practices led by Tim Keller, Head of Discovery and Metadata Services at Oberlin College and Conservatory.

Webinar attendees will have the opportunity to:

  *   Discuss the history of problematic subject headings.
  *   Explore strategies for applying inclusive practices to their cataloging work.
  *   Learn about networks and resources for implementing these practices in your library community.


This session will be recorded for those who cannot attend live. Please register<https://www.ohionet.org/event/inclusive-cataloging-3> even if you cannot attend live to receive access to the event recording.

Have questions or need assistance with registration? We’re happy to help! Email our team at ohionet at ohionet.org<mailto:ohionet at ohionet.org>.
