Presentation on University of Central Oklahoma Library’s Inclusive Metadata Initiative activities which include the creation of an Inclusive Metadata Statement, the creation of a form to report offensive or outdated terminology in library metadata, specific strategies for remediating offensive/outdated terminology, problematic classification, and providing more inclusive language in library metadata. In addition to retrospective projects, the library’s Systems division is working on creating a culture that supports inclusive metadata practices, both within the library and regionally in Oklahoma—which presents its own challenges in a deeply conservative state.

Written primarily for professionals in library and information science but with applicability to archives and other information management industries, this handbook provides an overview of metadata work that focuses on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). DEI metadata work has several goals: enhancing diverse representation in descriptive metadata; improving discovery of diverse resources; and mitigating negative effects of inaccurate, outdated, or offensive terminology. Readers will gain a broad awareness of DEI-related issues in metadata creation and management; learn techniques for retroactively reviewing and updating existing metadata to address these issues; and develop strategies to create metadata that better meets DEI needs.

Catalog records sometimes include terminology or describe viewpoints that are biased, offensive, or outdated. Library-provided descriptive metadata can also include harmful language, which can – and should – be updated to be more sensitive and accurate without compromising discoverability. In the summer of 2022, several members of the Council of University of Wisconsin Libraries’ Critical Cataloging Interest Group came together to explore creating a public-facing statement on harmful language that may appear in the library’s catalog or other descriptive metadata. The purpose of this statement is to invite library patrons and staff to report harmful language they encounter, while providing context and education about why harmful language may be present, and assure patrons and staff that their concerns will be heard and addressed.
This presentation describes the characteristics of existing harmful language statements , and our recommendations for libraries interested in creating their own statement. It will also include discussion of our process , in creating the statement and our goals in adding a harmful language statement to the library website and catalog.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the heart of the inclusive/critical cataloging movement. This panel of cataloging experts will leave participants with a solid idea of what inclusive cataloging is and why it is important. The panelists will provide real-life examples, best practices and approaches to identify projects that we are using in the CSU Libraries Network.
