Abstract

We interviewed creators of items in an LGBT2QIA+ community library, asking for their assessment of the catalogue record and for suggestions on how to augment the record with identity terms to increase discoverability. Early results from our analysis underscore familiar challenges around applying terminology to LGBT2QIA+ materials and creators, and indicate design considerations for the library’s catalogue.
