Questions to Consider when Cataloging and Classifying
- How will historically under-collected material be cataloged and classified in the collection? How might this affect discoverability?
- How will the cataloging and classification of BIPOC knowledge affect it's placement in the library?
- How are cataloging and classification systems distancing and segregating diverse knowledge?
- How are cataloging and classification systems lumping diverse form of knowledge together inappropriately?
- How are cataloging and classification systems leaving white knowledge as unmarked and neutral but marking and othering BIPOC knowledge?
- How are cataloging and classification systems using offensive and outdated terms? How do these terms reflect a white point of view?
