CHICAGO–In recent years, libraries, archives, museums and other cultural heritage institutions have begun work towards improving diverse subject access to their collections. The inclusion of the vocabulary in the supported subject and genre sources for MARC records in OCLC has presented new opportunities for improving access and discovery to LGBTQ+ materials in particular. On December 12, 2022 at 1 p.m. CT, join Core: Leadership, Infrastructure, Futures for the webinar “Retroactive Addition of Homosaurus: An Evaluation.” This webinar will introduce details of the conversion evaluation process, describe the testing and assessment methods for the conversion results, and outline the proposed recommendations for the process implementation and other possible strategies of retroactive addition of Homosaurus terms to bibliographic records. These same strategies could be applied to implementing other alternative subject vocabularies.
