Presentation title:  "Calling out" white nationalism in our catalogs: some suggestionsIsab

 Isabel Quintana (Harvard University)

I am a passionate proponent of cooperative endeavors, and especially of the PCC. I’ve been an active participant in NACO, SACO, BIBCO and CONSER for over 20 years. I have just begun my term as PCC Chair-Elect, and hope to find ways to further build community. I began my cataloging career in an anthropology library, and currently work primarily out of the Harvard Yenching Library, which is responsible for Harvard’s East Asian collections. I feel strongly that we should be diverse, inclusive, and welcoming in our collections and in our cataloging. I’m thrilled to see that librarians are tackling ethical issues, and am eager to be part of viable changes in our work. When I’m not cataloging, I have fun with my dogs, and cat. In fact, I typed this bio with a pug on my lap!

Fred J. Hay (Appalachian State University)

I earned the M.A. and Ph.D. in anthropology, focusing on the African Diaspora, and the M.L.I.S. I serve as the Anne Belk Distinguished Professor and Librarian of the W.L. Eury Collection at Appalachian State University. In addition to managing and growing an Appalachian library/archive, I teach Appalachian Studies. Prior to coming to ASU, I worked at St. Cloud State University, Kansas State University and Harvard University. (Isabel Quintana and I were colleagues at the Tozzer Anthropology Library.) I have served as Book Review Editor for C&RL and on the Editorial Board of Choice. I feel that as stewards of libraries and creators of library catalogs and finding aids, it is our responsibility to “call out” the racism found in our collections.
