EAC Community Hour: Critical Cataloguing Pt 1
Greetings All,
Thank you again to everyone who has been able to attend the EAC’s Community Hours. We are pleased to announce that by popular demand our next two Hours will be focused on Critical Cataloging.
The first hour will be on June 24th at 2 pm EST / 11 am PST, but, please do mark your calendars in advance for Part 2 on July 15th at 2 pm EST / 11 am PST.
In Part 1, we will be having guest moderators Karen Hwang, Devon Murphy, and Alanna Radlo-Dzur, in attendance. Guest moderators will be giving a brief overview of their work in the Critical Cataloging arena, and the Community Hour doc includes resources to get folks started with Critical Cataloging. We encourage attendees to look at the readings and resources provided in advance of the Hour if possible. This session is meant to be a space for you to bring general questions and concerns from your own work.
Discussion Prompts:
- What is your experience with critical cataloging in your institution or work? What thoughts, observations, or projects come to mind (if you are or are not familiar with CC)?
- What are the diverse communities in your workplace, collections, and service areas? How are they represented and served?
- Does your institution have a history of collaboration with these communities? Ways to improve?
- How can we interrogate systems of classification and knowledge organization in image and visual resource management? (What are their histories in your area? How can they be changed or adapted for others? Is that possible? What are the limitations and how can those be described?
Please send any specific questions in advance to Lael or Kendra (if you wish to remain anonymous please let us know) or bring your concerns to the Hour.

Best wishes,Kendra & Lael
