Inclusive cataloging : histories, context, and reparative approaches / by Albina, Billey,editor.; Uhl, Rebecca,editor.; Nelson, Elizabeth(Librarian),editor.; American Library Association,issuing body.(CARDINAL)142523;

Includes bibliographical references and index."As part of the profession's ongoing EDISJ efforts to redress librarianship's problematic past, practitioners from across the field are questioning long-held library authorities and standards. They're undertaking a critical and rigorous re-examination of so-called 'best' practices and the decisionmakers behind them, pointing out heretofore unscrutinized injustices within our library systems of organization and making concrete steps towards progressive change. This collection from CORE records the efforts of some of the many librarians who are working to improve our systems and collections, in the process inspiring those who have yet to enact change by demonstrating that this work is scalable, possible, and necessary. From this book, readers will gain an understanding of the theoretical underpinning for the actions that create our history and be challenged to reconsider their perspectives; learn about the important role of the library catalog in real-world EDISJ initiatives through examples ranging from accessibility metadata and gendered information to inclusive comics cataloging and revising LC call numbers for Black people and Indigenous people; discover more than a dozen case studies drawn from a variety of contexts including archives, academic and public libraries, and research institutions; and see ways to incorporate these ideas into their own work, with a variety of sample policies, 'how to' documents, and other helpful tools provided in the text"--"This volume seeks to record the efforts of many librarians who worked to improve our systems and collections as well as inspire those who have yet to enact change that this work is scalable, possible, and necessary"--

Third millennium thinking : creating sense in a world of nonsense / by Perlmutter, Saul,author.; Campbell, John,1956 November 2-author.; MacCoun, Robert J.,author.(CARDINAL)763331;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 285-298) and index.In our deluge of information, it's getting harder and harder to distinguish the revelatory from the contradictory.

We can all borrow these trust-building techniques to tackle problems both big and small. Using provocative thought exercises, jargon-free language, and vivid illustrations drawn from history, daily life, and scientists' insider stories, Third Millennium Thinking offers a novel approach for readers to make sense of the nonsense.--
