DEI Metadata Handbook: A Guide to Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive Description
by H. E. Wintermute et al. 2024
Written primarily for professionals in library and information science but with applicability to archives and other information management industries, this handbook provides an overview of metadata work that focuses on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). DEI metadata work has several goals: enhancing diverse representation in descriptive metadata; improving discovery of diverse resources; and mitigating negative effects of inaccurate, outdated, or offensive terminology. Readers will gain a broad awareness of DEI-related issues in metadata creation and management; learn techniques for retroactively reviewing and updating existing metadata to address these issues; and develop strategies to create metadata that better meets DEI needs.

The Office Hour is open to any library employee at a LSP Program college, and the demonstration is targeted for those with discovery permissions to manage display configurations.
