A panel of members from the Cataloguing Ethics Steering Committee will explain the engagement process in developing the Code, the work being done to raise awareness of the Code, and the importance of including the work of cataloguing in an institution’s commitments to EDIA.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this webinar, attendees will:
- Understand why cataloging work requires ethical considerations
- Recognize how cataloguing ethics relate to other ethical aspects of library services
- How to have focused conversations about cataloguing ethics with their staff and stakeholders
