Abstract

This presentation documents an ongoing project to replace obsolete and offensive cutter numbers in a university library. In response to growing pressure and the general diffusion of DEIA principles, Library of Congress subject headings and classification have undergone significant recent change. This is particularly visible as regards racial groups. This case focuses on the replacement of N3 cutter numbers, which formerly represented both Black people and African Americans under the term “Negro.” This presentation documents my experience creating and refining a workflow that will eventually be used for updating all manner of obsolete classification across my institution’s libraries.
