Homosaurus Implementation Project
I worked with the Orbis Cascade Alliance Cataloging Standing Group (CSG) to build on a series of Homosaurus training sessions they recently facilitated with a retrospective implementation project. Working with sets of legacy records in the consortial catalog identified by the CSG, I performed subject analysis on a record-by-record basis and added terms from the Homosaurus as appropriate. I also contributed to the creation of training materials for other students and non-cataloging staff participating in the project. Through this work, I helped enhance discoverability of LGBTQ+ records in the Alliance catalog, contributing to the Homosaurus community of practice.
