Homosaurus Record Enhancement for Pacific University Libraries

Project tags:

equity & inclusion

social justice

For my project, I worked with a librarian at Pacific University to enhance 362 print records using the Homosaurus controlled vocabulary. Homosaurus is an international LGBTQ+ linked data vocabulary. The goal of this project was to improve the relevance and authenticity of the records' subject terms to make these resources more inclusive and more easily discoverable by university students. The records were updated in OCLC Connexion, so universities across the country will benefit from the record enhancement we accomplished.
