Abstract

Historical and modern scientific thought is dominated by the English language, colonized science, patriarchal norms, and Westernized “ways of knowing.” By making materials that lie outside that narrative discoverable (e.g., non-Western science, Indigenous/Aboriginal knowledge, women in science, etc.) we can assert that science is a global endeavor by representing diverse scientists on physical library shelves or ebook “shelves.” The Cataloging and Metadata Librarian and Science and Outreach Librarian at Furman University, a small liberal arts college, collaborated on a project to address discriminatory practices in the catalog records of a subset of the libraries’ STEM collection. Spurred by another project to update deprecated Cutters in Library of Congress call numbers, we assessed collection content with an eye to improve future collection development and created a local method for collocating DEI materials within an Alma consortium catalog. The intended goals of the project were to update the collection, improve metadata to increase discoverability, and develop an auditing process to use for other collections.

停止、合作并列出他们:创建本地元数据,促进用户发现 STEM 藏品中的少数民族身份
历史和现代科学思想受英语、殖民化科学、父权制规范和西方化 "认知方式 "的支配。通过使这种叙事之外的资料(如非西方科学、土著/原住民知识、科学中的女性等)可以被发现,我们可以通过在图书馆实体书架或电子书 "书架 "上展示不同的科学家来宣称科学是一项全球性的工作。弗曼大学是一所小型文理学院,该校的编目和元数据图书馆员与科学和外联图书馆员合作开展了一个项目,以解决图书馆 STEM 藏书子集的编目记录中存在的歧视性做法。在另一个更新美国国会图书馆呼号中已废弃的剪切器的项目的推动下,我们对馆藏内容进行了评估,以期改进未来的馆藏开发,并在 Alma 联合目录中创建了一种将 DEI 资料归类的本地方法。该项目的预期目标是更新馆藏,改进元数据以提高可发现性,并开发一个可用于其他馆藏的审计流程。
