Addressing Classification System Bias in Higher Education Libraries in England
Trista Smith; Leo Appleton
portal: Libraries and the Academy, v23 n4 p819-841 2023
This qualitative research study explores the ways that academic librarians in England undertake and perceive classification and cataloging work to engage in wider decolonization initiatives. The research consisted of semi-structured interviews, and thematic analysis was used to identify key themes. The study found that the participant librarians highly value this work based on a perception of its moral importance, rather than concrete proof of impact. Benefits from a decolonization perspective were not always clear. Challenges include staffing shortages and technological limitations.
