What’s Ethics Got to Do With It?​
December 15, 2020 
12:00 - 1:00 pm ET

Cataloguing and classification work requires numerous decisions that have an impact on people. Sometimes these decisions and the standards that guide them harm individuals and groups of people.  This session identifies the need for ethical considerations in cataloguing. In addition, members of the Cataloging Ethics Steering Committee, a collaboration among representatives from Canada, the UK and the US, will also give an update on their work to create a cataloguing code of ethics.
Speakers: Beth Shoemaker, Diane Pennington, Jane Daniels, May Chan, and Sarah Furger
