In this webinar, participants will learn actionable steps in three areas of diversifying collections: critical cataloging, diversity audits, and patron education. This session will be interactive, so come ready to engage with your colleagues in a fun, no-pressure setting. No technical services experience necessary; library workers in all roles are welcome.
 

Margaret Breidenbaugh (she/her) is Resource Sharing Coordinator at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, a member of SEIU (Service Employees International Union) Local 1099, and co-chair of the Gender and Sexuality SACO Funnel, a PCC (Program for Cooperative Cataloging) working group within the Library of Congress. In a former life, she taught private singing lessons for 18 years. Margaret is also in demand as a public speaker. Recent engagements include EDI in Cataloging & Technical Services (Amigos Library), the Library of Congress PCC Operations meeting, OCLC Cataloging Community meeting, and Metadata Justice in Oklahoma Libraries & Archives Symposium (forthcoming). She earned her MA in Modern German Social History from Miami University in 2018 and is an MLIS student at the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering. Her research interests--critical librarianship, cataloging, web design, and queer and disability rights--interrogate the power of words.
