Event Description
Following the success of our series of panels on library classification systems we're looking at the topic of Subject Headings and some of the practical, theoretical, and historical issues about their use in libraries. We will be looking at how they are managed, how they change over time, and how biases form, are identified, and are addressed.
This discussion will be led by four wonderful special guests: Clare O'Hanlon who is a user and enthusiast for Homosaurus, Renate Beilharz from the Schools Catalogue Information Service, Dorie Kurtz a Cataloguing Policy Specialist at the Library of Congress, and Anthony McLaughlin Assistant Director, Descriptive Metadata and Cataloguing who works with the AIATSIS Austlang group.
This event will be held at the PMI Victorian History Library and be streamed online through ALIA Vic's YouTube channel. For those attending in person, there will be refreshments provided and an ALIA pin presentation following the main event, This is a free event but bookings are essential.
