*WGSS Program Classification and Justice: Unfinished Work in Resource
Description *

A panel discussion with Emily Drabinski and Staci Ross exploring the work
still needed to rid Library of Congress Subject Headings and other schemas
of sexism, racism, and other prejudicial language. Understanding cataloging
through the lens of power changes how we think about this ostensibly
neutral work. This panel presentation will explore the longstanding harm of
how we categorize people and identities in classification systems. We’ll
discuss actions all librarians can take to further the work of critical
cataloging regardless of their day to day work with resource description.
