Hi.

WE see her notes, I'm not sure she wants to display it this way

Should the host notice this to her?

I texted her

I am torn between not wanting to other people but how do we serve researchers who are looking for materials on black/African American female pilots?

I frequently see it mentioned in these kind of workshops that "LC is not a national library" and I always wonder... is there any way we could make it so?

Will these powerpoints be shared? Or a list of resources?

LC doesn't want to be the national library of the United States

Could the chat be shared as well?

Is there a reasoning for that?

The chat will be part of the recording, which will be posted publicly

You can download chat - see the three dots next to the File icon

Not sure that if LC were the national library it would make making changes any easier. Congress does not have an exclusive claim to politics.

I'll be sharing my slides with the list of resources.

thanks :-)

Thanks!

Thanks to Violet to share the link of The "Change the Subject" documentary. Many iSchool students have viewed this film for discussions too. So much ongoing impact in our communities!

Hello. I’m a library student so I’m still learning about the information profession. If LC is not the national library, why is it used so often and held in so high esteem?

For Tris Shores: Do you know what kind of institutions have implemented this software so far? Any academic institutions?

I'm interested in how presenters have dealt with their own blind spots? I'm the sole professional librarian focused on cataloging at my institution, and I am a white man. I'm not sure how much it will advance EDI if I'm the one making all the decisions, even if I have the best intentions.

We have National Library of Medicine

Also, "Alien" is a legal term still

We have National Library of Education

Does Congress have to approve new subject headings or changes?

And the National Agricultural Library

@Emily Flynn, LCSH is not a legal vocabulary.

Okay. Thank you so much for explaining!

Has ALA thought about starting a national library, to remove the Library as an Institution from Congress/politic control?

LCSH may not be a legal vocabulary, but it is used by the Law Library of Congress.

+1 to Violet's comment. Also, there were law librarians on the SAC committee that recommended that the "IA" heading be changed

President Biden will change "alien" into a new term, so this term will disappear from the law dictionary in the near future!

We also need a diverse profession.

yes!

It's hard to start, knowing that we're going to mess up, but perfectionism is the enemy of improvement

Diverging the profession will require more entry-level Cataloging positions.

I'm at the University of Tulsa where we have a large Tulsa Race Massacre collection and I am very happy that this terminology was finally added to LC.

We need to involve communities to understand their needs.

Does anyone know if it is noted on the LC website that it is not a national library?

I just checked because I thought I'd heard it but there's a news report that Biden seeks to replace 'alien' with less 'dehumanizing term' in immigration laws, so there might be hope yet

In Primo, Cal State Univ talked about how how they used norm rules to change the display without changing the records

Thank you for mentioning LOC. I work for a US National library and Libarry of Congress is considered a national library!

He didn't donate, he sold them when he needed money

Yes, LC started with Jefferson's library.

Thanks to Jennifer for your feedback on the "Tulsa Race Massacre collection."

Wow! It’s used all over the world and LC is NOT the national library?! That’s crazy to me.

Thank you Annamarie, Elliot, and Bela for your responses to my question!

Rather than local changes, there is a need to come together as a community to address many of these issues.

It's especially a concern with Linked Data.

Great session!

Thank you!

Thank you!

If only some of our members of Congress would actually read the books in their library. :-)
