What’s in a name? Quite a bit! Vocabularies matter!

Description

Language matters, words matter, phrases and terms all matter! We are here to discuss changes you can make within your bibliographic data to add more inclusive language for the communities your library serves. We believe that respectful language choices in access points is one way to work towards anti-oppressive librarianship. Sponsored by OLA TSRT (Technical Services Round Table).
