SUMMARY:Symposium on Reparative Description in Library Catalogs
DESCRIPTION: \n\nThe MSU Libraries will offer a symposium on reparative 
 description in library catalogs on Tuesday\, April 1\, 2025.\n\n \n\nAs 
 library communities grapple with legacy practices to describe peoples and 
 cultures in our resources\, a common call to action by marginalized groups 
 has been ringing out: “Nothing about us without us.” We invite you to 
 join us in learning how Indigenous cultural heritage professionals have 
 worked to elevate indigenous ways of knowing in library description and 
 classification practices. There will also be time devoted to learning from 
 library workers on how they address harmful language in their catalogs\, as 
 well as strategizing on how the library community can come together to 
 reflect\, make changes\, and continue learning. We hope you can join 
 us!\n\n \n\nAttendance is free and lunch will be provided. Please reserve 
 your seat below\, using the blue Begin Registration button. If no seats 
 remain\, please join the waitlist!\n\n \n\nSchedule for the
