Constructing a values-based foundation for metadata justice work
Abstract
In this group activity, participants will have the chance to explore the values and principles that might inform their approach to metadata justice work, cross-pollinate ideas with others hoping to engage in this work, as well as work through key components of a guiding document. Participants will walk away with a framework for building their own values-based foundation for metadata justice work, based on an example of a thoroughly constructed guiding document. Whether you're interested in pursuing this work as an individual, within a group, or more broadly at your institution, this session will help ensure your future work is approached in a values-based and sustainable way.
This session will encourage and empower others from across the information professions to not only engage in the work of metadata justice, but to do so in a sustainable way that aligns with their personal, group, and/or institutional values.
