We're excited to share details of our two-part agenda for this free, virtual event. Part one highlights an initiative to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in library metadata. In part two, OCLC staff will share updates on our cataloging products
and services. <br>
<br>
<b>DEI in library metadata panel discussion: </b><br>
<br>
<i>Increase religious equity by reclassifying Dewey 200s </i><br>
<br>
In 2019, OCLC provided an alternate arrangement for the Dewey Decimal Classification system's religion section (200s), which organizes religious subjects more equitably by chronology and geography, rather than centering on Christianity. You'll hear from OCLC
about the new arrangement, and from two public libraries that implemented it. You'll also get tools to make it easy to increase access and equity in your collection by doing the same. <br>
