Subject Term Flagging
.
Oberlin and the Five Colleges of Ohio Libraries acknowledge that there are terms in the library catalog that are potentially hurtful, offensive, or unclear. While we retain these terms to support search and discovery by those conducting searches using these terms, we also believe it is important to acknowledge these terms as problematic and advocate for changes. We see flags as an invitation to a dialog with our students, staff, faculty, and community members about identifying and changing problematic language in our profession.
