One way this is accomplished is through the professional catalogers' dedication to accurately and respectfully describing materials relating to underrepresented communities. They are actively taking steps to ameliorate these problematic practices that directly affect the Central community's access to library resources. In addition to retrospective projects, the library’s Systems division is working on creating a culture that supports inclusive metadata practices, both within the library and regionally in Oklahoma—which presents its own challenges in a deeply conservative state. Join us to learn about our initiatives and where we hope to take them next.Item Open Access Inclusive Metadata Strategies at Max Chambers Library(2023-02-08) Beezley, Shay; Earls, Anona; Palone, KaitlynMax Chambers Library is committed to serving underrepresented communities.

Originally from Brazil, Feitler eventually found her home in New York City and made a name for herself in the magazine industry. Early on in her career she was named co-art director of Harper’s Bazaar along with Ruth Ansel, both having served as graphic designers under art director Marvin Israel (1924-85) who had been one of Feitler’s instructors at Parsons. Known for taking chances, Feitler and Ansel pushed Harper’s to its limits. Under Feitler’s and Ansel’s direction, Harper’s became one of the first national publications to photograph and feature an African American model. After leaving Harper’s, Feitler got involved with Ms., a liberal feminist publication founded by Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes. At Ms. Magazine, Feitler was responsible for many controversial covers including one for a December (Christmas) issue, which featured the slogan “Peace on Earth, Good Will toward People,” revising the historically patriarchal statement “Peace on Earth, Good Will toward Men.” Despite a relatively short career, due to her untimely death at age 44, she made a significant impact on magazine design while also taking a stand for feminism and equality.Item Open Access LINES with POWER & PURPOSE: an Editorial Cartoon Collection at the University of Central Oklahoma(2017) Sharp, Brett; Horton, Amanda; Washburn, Sam; Gee, SpencerThis exhibition features over fifty original editorial cartoons from the nation's great metropolitan newspapers during the Golden Age of print journalism. In the mix are artistic novices all the way to seven Pulitzer Prizewinning cartoonists who have earned a total of twelve of these prestigious awards. Spanning the dawn of the 20th century through the early postwar period, these drawings represent noble attempts to interpret a world torn apart by war and economic disruption. They chronicle the challenges of everyday life in the context of enormous change. On a daily basis, these editorial cartoonists delivered biting social commentary made more palatable through amusing illustration. Deceptively simple drawings framed the public's understanding of world events and trends. Along the way, these cartoons provided welcome comic relief.Item Open Access Mary Blair: Incomplete Design History Podcast(2021-09-23) Horton, Amanda; Valencia, Shane; Sinclair, Kayla; Gee, SpencerMary Blair was a fine artist, commercial artist, concept artist, and Disney Imagineer. After graduating from Chouinard and marrying Lee Blair, Mary was set to build a career as a regionalist watercolor painter like her husband. Due to World War 2, fine art was not working out, and the two entered the world of commercial art and animation. Both landed positions at Ub Iwerks Studio. In 1940, Blair joined Walt Disney studios as a sketch artist. The job frustrated her, and she quit shortly after. A few months later, Walt Disney animators went on strike in 1941, right when Walt left on a Goodwill tour of South America. Lee Blair was invited to go with a group of Disney artists. Mary desperately wanted to go, so she convinced Walt to bring her. The South American tour was where Mary Blair flourished as an artist and developed the style we know of today. Walt supported and encouraged her work and involved her in a number of projects back at the studios. Blair was the art director on the films Three Caballeros and Saludos Amigos, and concept artist for Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan. Blair left the Disney studios and moved to New York to pursue freelance commercial art. She illustrated for Little Golden Books, did set designs for Radio City Music Hall, and designed ads for Bakers Cocoa and Pall Mall. Mary returned to Disney for her biggest project yet: creating the look for a new Disneyland attraction called "It's a Small World." Mary Blair's modern style had a huge impact on the way Disney created their films and her influence at Disney can be seen to this day.Item Open Access Varvara Stepanova: Incomplete Design History Podcast(2021-09-09) Horton, Amanda; Valencia, Shane; Sinclair, Kayla; Gee, SpencerVarvara Stepanova was a leader of the constructivist movement and co-author of the constructivist manifesto. Described as “a frenzied artist,” she designed books, magazines, posters, advertisements, as well as textiles, clothing, and costumes. On top of that, she was an author and poet. Her design style and aesthetic was avant garde, modern, and often characterized by simplicity and geometric forms and patterns, but Varvara was never content with stasis. She constantly evolved her style and worked to develop new concepts and ideas. As a co-founder of the Constructivist movement, her work typifies the aesthetic and philosophies of Constructivism. While Varavara worked on many of her own projects, she also did many together with her husband, Alexander Rodchenko, another well-known Constructivist designer. Her work often gets linked to Rodchenko’s, and it’s Rodchenko who gets mentioned in histories of graphic design and credit for designs that should be attributed to Stepanova as well. At a time when women were largely still expected to be no more than wives and mothers, Stepanova was a woman who made an unmistakable mark on art and design.Item Open Access DARE to Say NO(2022-07-14) Earls, Anona; Compton, JJUsing the Acronym DARE we'll look specifically at reclassing the offensive and dated terminology of call numbers for materials classified with N and O Cutter numbers for "Negro" and "Oriental." DARE is short for Decide (to undertake the project), Access (changing the metadata), Repair (the label, record, shelving location, etc) or Eliminate (weed)Item Open Access Finding the Right Words(2022-07-14) Beezley, Shay; Palone, KaitlynIn Summer 2021, UCO Chambers Library's catalogers crafted an inclusive metadata statement. Our presentation will provide an overview of the process, recommendations for creating your own statement, and the challenges of important terminology being misappropriated as buzzwords (e.g. "decolonizing" the catalog)Item Open Access Are You Still Talking? Communication in Leadership(2021-11-19) Jones, ElizabethCommunication is a critical leadership skill to obtain supporters and buy-in. Effective communication requires critically analyzing your own communication habits and reactions and tailoring them to the individuals or groups with which you are communicating. I will use examples from my 15+ years of experience in library related leadership positions to present communication strategies that work. After all, leaders cannot be leaders without supporters.Item Open Access Drafting the inclusive metadata statement(11/19/2021) Beezley, Shay; Palone, KaitlynOffensive/outdated terminology in library cataloging standards has been discussed for some years now, particularly around the subject heading “illegal aliens.” A recent trend in library cataloging and technical services departments has been to create public statements that acknowledging these problems to their communities and actions that have been or will be taken to address offensive/outdated terminology found in our standards. The professional catalogers at the University of Central Oklahoma teamed up in summer 2021 to create such a statement, and this lightning talk will address why we created this statement, how we structured this statement, and our own steps for transforming words into actions.Item Open Access How do you solve a cataloging problem like The Vista?(2021-07-27) Beezley, ShayThis presentation introduces complex serials cataloging through the experience of re-cataloging The Vista, the school newspaper of the University of Central Oklahoma. Since its inception in 1903, The Vista experienced a couple dozen frequency changes, suffered six university name changes, was christened with different aliases for some summer issues, all of which that not only make serials cataloging rightfully earn its difficult reputation but also were left for the present catalogers to handle by our predecessors from decades before. Accurately capturing a serial's bibliographic eccentricities is essential for making the information within discoverable, whether directly by a patron or by colleagues in ILL and Public Services. This session will cover creating new bibliographic records for serials, connecting related records, sub-series, frequency changes, publisher name changes, and resources for standardized holdings description.Item Open Access Fear not early childhood teachers!
