10:13:46	 From  Max Macias : Catalogers could create lists of works that are available from marginalized communities and other groups.
10:14:45	 From  Ross Betzer : You got it exactly right, Robert!
10:16:22	 From  martin blasco : great idea, Max!
10:17:34	 From  Ellie Avis : I'm wondering how people decide what local series to track? Is it based on what patrons are asking for?
10:20:31	 From  Lori Robare : Good points, Max.
10:20:51	 From  Max Macias : Increasing representation from marginalized communities in library work.  Mentorship programs.  Outreach by Tech-services people to these groups.  Especially those who are already in library programs.
10:22:49	 From  martin blasco : Very important. 
10:24:45	 From  Ellie Avis : we have access to keyword search terms from our catalog too, so maybe that would be another place to look.
10:26:05	 From  Robert Kohl : Ellie, that’s a good idea, adding those terms that searchers are actually using
10:28:37	 From  Amy Mihelich, WCCLS : homosaurus.org
10:28:53	 From  Max Macias : Thanks Amy!
10:29:30	 From  Ellie Avis : We don't really have a discovery layer, but we subscribe to NoveList from Ebsco, which does provide some author characteristic filters
10:29:31	 From  Ross Betzer : This is a very small step, but I think adding good 520 summary notes is one way to get more keywords into a bib record.
10:42:25	 From  Max Macias : I think a nice step would be to implement colonists as a heading for non-indigenous authors, etc…
10:42:28	 From  Max Macias : :-)
10:42:55	 From  Ellie Avis : that's a great point, Max. 
10:52:04	 From  Ross Betzer : This question about American Dirt highlights the problem with the LC demographic terms thesaurus not including a term for white people. (Although even if it did, adding a 386 record for the author being a white woman wouldn’t be a complete solution.)
10:53:05	 From  Ellie Avis : #colonists
10:54:13	 From  martin blasco : There are historical considerations to consider #own voice.  Racism is one. People should know what they are reading. Cummins book is not #own voice.
10:55:19	 From  Max Macias : #Brownface would be one good description.   Why not have a community discussion when these kinds of issues happen?  That way the public/patrons can participate and decide what they want to read.
10:56:04	 From  Ross Betzer : It would be pretty easy to add a local subject/genre heading in the catalog for “Own voice.” The challenge would be in identifying the books which get it, but all library staff could help with that.
10:57:57	 From  Ellie Avis : With American Dirt, I kind of felt like it was a reader advisory challenge--when that book came out, we came up with some lists of #ownvoices border stories and immigrant experience novels and memoirs. Having a subject heading would have been helpful in creating those lists--but in some early marketing for American dirt, the author self-identified as having Latinx ancestry, so...
10:58:49	 From  Heather Pitts (she/her) : At the State Library we did recently change the "Illegal aliens" subject headings in our records. 
For our original cataloging of state government publications we are no longer using that term. We are using "Immigrants" in the LCSH string paired with "Undocumented immigrants" from ERIC. 
For copy cataloging (such as for federal documents or trade publications), I did also similarly change records in our local catalog. I exported the records, edited them in MarcEdit, and reloaded them. 
10:58:52	 From  martin blasco : Good point!
11:02:12	 From  Max Macias : Thank you for the great discussion EVERYONE!  You are all amazing.  Thank you for your work!
11:02:35	 From  Amy Mihelich, WCCLS : Thank you for that information Heather!
11:03:31	 From  Amy Mihelich, WCCLS : https://www.olaweb.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=321
11:03:54	 From  Max Macias : Take care everyone!
11:03:56	 From  Heather Pitts (she/her) : Amy, thank you for sending the post to the TSRT list about what you had done at WCCLS. We had been thinking about the heading on and off for a couple years and tried a couple things out, but your post  was what prodded us to action.
11:04:16	 From  Lori Robare : Thanks so much, everyone. Great discussion!
11:04:27	 From  Ross Betzer : Thanks very much, OLA TSRT leaders!
11:04:28	 From  Heather Pitts (she/her) : Thank you!
11:04:32	 From  Amy Mihelich, WCCLS : Thank you!
11:04:33	 From  Ellie Avis : thanks!!
