Hands-on craft projects can be a great way to connect with library users, spark interest in a particular collection, serve as a fun de-stressing activity during finals week, and introduce users to preservation and book arts. Join the CARLI Preservation Committee for a webinar focusing on easy outreach crafts including “snake” book weights and two simple sewn books. No preservation experience is required to host one of these activities in your library!

The Hennepin County Library (HCL) catalog was pioneering in its use of inclusive language and descriptions offering an alternative to the Library of Congress Authorities. From 1973 to 1999, Head Cataloger Sandy Berman and his team disseminated their cataloging work through the HCL Cataloging Bulletin (HCB). Amy Gabbert-Montag, Charlotte Kadifa, and Jaylene Telford will offer insight into their ongoing project Voices of the Catalog: A Digital and Oral History of Hennepin County Catalogers, highlighting topics such as creativity in cataloging, fostering a healthy and productive work environment, and cultivating community.

This event is part of the Engaging with Critical Cataloging Past and Present webinar series which introduces Library of Congress Subject Headings from the perspective of catalogers engaged in subject authority work. Learn about some of the key historical figures and projects in Minnesota radical cataloging. Hear from contemporary catalogers inspired by this radical history to continue working towards critical, equitable, and respectful cataloging standards.

Presenters:

Jaylene Telford is a reference librarian at the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library.

Amy Gabbert-Montag is a Processing Archivist at the University of Minnesota.

Charlotte Kadifa is an MLIS student at St. Catherine University. Charlotte is passionate about the use of primary sources and redefining history as storytelling.
