Bias in subject access standards: A content analysis of the critical literature / Hope Olson and Rose Schlegl

Metadata and Nomenclature
 
Published  May 18, 2018  

This paper reports the results of a content analysis of the literature on biases in classification and subject headings. This study gathers 93 works documenting biases of gender, sexuality, race, age, ability, ethnicity, nationality, language, and religion with the goals of: 1) identifying existing research  and experience on subject access for marginalized groups and marginalized topics, and 2) providing a basis for addressing systemic subject access problems.
