內容 | Inherent bias in Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) and non-LCSHs impedes patron access to materials. To improve discoverability of their juvenile biography collection, librarians at the University of Central Florida Libraries utilized a 39 item Qualtrics questionnaire to analyze the subject headings in the bibliographic records of 952 juvenile biographies. Each biography was evaluated for elements of the biographee’s gender, race, ethnicity, and nationality. The resultant data was incorporated into local subject headings yielding 2,972 additional points of discoverability. More inclusive Library of Congress subject headings, and terms from Library of Congress Demographic Group Terms (LCDGT) and Homosaurus were also added. |
