#critlib — Public Fediverse posts

Here's our article based on our collaborative #autoethnography of working-class experiences of libraries, in the @Infolitgroup Journal of Information Literacy issue on #Critlib #CritInfoLit.

@DFlynnLib, Teresa, @rosiehare and Krishna were a fabulous team of researchers and coauthors.

new #OA article from me about the critical cataloging database (critcat.org) lessons taught by #critcat (#critarch #critlib). It's dedicated to and opens w a quote from Emily Drabinski bc it would not exist if not for her.

please boost/RT! the Queer Metadata Collective is looking for descriptive / catalog policies relating to marginalized communities, individuals, & their works from #galleries #libraries #archives #museums and #speccolls (#GLAMS).

My proposal is: "Advancing Equitable Cataloging: Marginalized Community-Based Participatory Cataloging in Galleries, Archives, Libraries, Museums, and Special Collections" and here is the official entry: https://vanier.gc.ca/en/scholar_search-chercheur_recherche_2022.html#:~:text=Watson%2C%20Brian-,Photo%20courtesy%20of%20Paul,University%20of%20British%20Columbia,-Other%20Library%20And
