Harmful content and description, from offensive language in the catalog to visually graphic media in digital collection portals, can be a sensitive, emotional, and complex topic to tackle ethically on your own. The Harmful Content and Description interest group fosters an environment in which digital library practitioners are supported by cross-collaboration, understanding, and care.
In this session, Harmful Content and Description interest group members will gather to discuss best practices related to harmful content, harmful description, reparative metadata, and related topics. We will discuss current initiatives undertaken, as well as identify creative strategies and collective solutions to support our community and sustain the work we all do. Come prepared to build together the best practices zone and share relevant resources!
