Terrific new article about how the idea of "neutrality" has been used for decades to deny the approval of #LCSH relating to marginalized people. Great description of how subject headings are created and how inordinate scrutiny is given to certain proposals in order to appear "unbiased." #critcat 📚

. @heroicendeavour.eurosky.social shouts out metadata librarians, says they don't get the credit they deserve
#MetadataMatters (paging @emmabooth.bsky.social) #UKSG2026
On National Indexing Day, we need to celebrate this intensely human publishing role, says our associate editor and non-fiction previewer Caroline Sanderson 👇 #BookSky
Practical steps can be made with incremental change over time - no need for huge system overhaul,but a need to apply open metadata licences support a linked open metadata environment & build a community that can share & support one another to prioritise open standards & open infrastructures #RLUK26
Open Metadata can help us to address the fragmentation inherent in the current ecosystem moving us towards a more open and collaborative discovery environment without duplication of effort - but this requires open workflows & guidance & community knowledge sharing #RLUK26
Open Metadata is openly licensed and reusable without restriction - it has interoperable standards that are accessible beyond local systems to ensure it is discoverable on the web #RLUK26
Interesting session on #openmetadata #openbibmetadata & #openinfras from @ellycope.bsky.social at #RLUK26 Conference #metadatamatters
#RLUK26 has been full of 'calls to arms' for action to address big issues facing academic and research libraries from supporting #diamondOA reinforcing #rightsretention and #copyright in the face of AI & now moving to #openmetadata #RLUK26
Happy National Indexing Day @indexers.bsky.social 🥳
@baindex.org has posted about her freelance career and how it has shifted towards indexing over the years. Happy Anniversary!
it was such a delight putting together this Homosaurus history and maintenance article with D (a fantastic steward), Keahi, @marikac4.bsky.social Michael, Crystal & @drtlwagner.bsky.social ! This is also the best recounting of the Homosaurus history to date--if we don't answer it here, let us know!
As the holder of an in house classification scheme myself, I very much enjoyed the final piece! Very relatable….
