Deliverable | Timeframe | Due Date | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Create a space for resources and training materials for UC libraries addressing DEIJA in cataloging, metadata and discovery | Short-term | May 2023 | Determine platform Determine criteria and scope Who can contribute to this space? Will the site be ongoing? Who will be responsible for the site following our work? Temporary page: DEIJA in Cataloging, Metadata and Discovery Resources and Training |
Identify needs at each campus with regards to successful implementation of ethical and inclusive metadata practice for description, faceting, subject headings, controlled vocabularies, and authority records in SILS and UC Library Search (Alma and Primo). | Short-term | May 2023 | Define what “successful implementation” means Create survey Create Communication & Survey Contact list Survey campuses Utilize survey when reviewing and updating Work Plan |
Create a list of UC reparative and inclusive cataloging local projects and practices that can be shared systemwide. | Short-term | May 2023 | Create survey Create Communication & Survey Contact list Survey campuses Determine if this will be a static or continually updated list Determine who will maintain the list if continually updated Determine where the list will live Temporary page: UC Reparative and Inclusive Cataloging and Metadata Projects and Practices |
Create a directory of campus personnel with description and discovery-related DEIJA expertise or responsibility (i.e. NACO, SACO, Linked Data, Language, Accessibility) | Midterm | July 2023 | Determine platform
Add language as one of the expertise categories?
|
Make concrete recommendations for addressing representation issues with vocabularies, including misrepresentation due to factual error or bias and underrepresentation or erasure due to lack of specific headings. | Long-term | October 2023 | Should we also recommend alternative vocabularies, like Homosaurus? |
Develop best practices to create anti-racist and anti-biased description and classification for a more equitable, diverse and inclusive UC Library Search | Long-term | October 2023 | |
Make concrete recommendations for reparative cataloging for catalogers and systems personnel | Long-term | October 2023 | Maybe more clarity on “concrete recommendations” for the deliverables that have this phrase? From presentations related to ethical cataloging, it seems sometimes the hardest part about this work isn’t identifying that there is a problem, it’s how to make the decision on what to do about it. +1 +1 |
Make concrete recommendations for improved DEIJA discovery experience | Long-term | October 2023 | Would we need to bring in others who are more of the experts in front-end discovery systems? |
Identify which groups are responsible for changes at local, national and/or international levels (e.g., local-level, SILS Operations Team, Operations Subteams, Leadership Group) | Midterm | July 2023 | This could be interesting given that we largely work in OCLC, so local decisions can potentially have national/international impact |
Hold regular updates with the stakeholders | Throughout | Communicate throughout with SILS RM, SILS Discovery, CMCKG, SCCMCKG, EDICKG, and local campus diversity committees Present at SILS Town Hall(s) Release draft recommendations in October 2023 | |
