Our very own Tiffany Henry and two co-authors have published an article in the open access journal "In the Library With the Lead Pipe." This excellent article, "The Old and the Prudish: An Examination of Sex, Sexuality, and Queerness in Library of Congress Classification," is a must read for those interested in EDI work in critical cataloging.
As quoted from the brief summary at the beginning of the article: "We aim for readers to realize what it means for structural inequity to exist in LCC, the harm that that structural inequity can impart, and to take a critical eye to the foundational classification used within numerous libraries, beyond the subject headings overlaying and masking that classification."
Many programs and services focus on youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), but what resources are there for adults with these conditions? Whether you have already noticed adults with I/DD in your library or are looking to invite this audience in as new users, this webinar will help you to create a more inclusive and welcoming experience for all.
In this webinar, you'll learn some basic information about I/DD, common barriers to library use faced by adults with I/DD, how to identify useful community partners, and strategies for addressing potential challenges in welcoming the I/DD population to your library. By the end of the webinar, you should feel more confident in your ability to serve this vibrant community and have a list of actionable steps for welcoming them into your library.
