Words Matter – Rethinking LCSH

Language matters, words matter, phrases and terms all matter! I am here to discuss changes you can make within your bibliographic data to add more inclusive language for your customers. This session will go through the process for choosing new terms, as well as the partnership with Backstage Library Works to enact the change. This session goes into detail the collaboration between the library and their partner vendor, Backstage and how you can enact significant change to make your catalogs more inclusive.
