#catalogers — Public Fediverse posts

please boost! ! The Queer Metadata Collective is looking for feedback from #catalogers #metadata workers #critcat #critlib #archivists #dh #histsex folks on questions or dillemmas they have encountered while describing individuals/communities/items

Some hypotheticals from working groups:

Classification:
* Some classification systems separate books about gay, lesbian, bisexual (etc) groups into different areas of the library. Should local practices override that in order to group them together?

There is no #listserv I like more than the one for Program for Cooperative Cataloging and here is why: there is no shame in saying what one really thinks of the quality of some #NameAuthorityRecord or #BibliographicRecord. The latest gem email contains a question: What intelligence level is this directed at?

Love it!

hiii y'all! I can (finally) announce that I've won (finally) announce that I've won a #vaniercanada Graduate Scholarship.

The award recognizes "world-class doctoral students... who demonstrate both leadership skills and a high standard of scholarly achievement"

My goal with the award money is (pending committee and ethics review) is to give it back by paying my research subjects (#catalogers in #GLAMS) for their time in focus groups improving the description of marginalized communities.
