Hi, Would it be possible for the Wiki community, and in particular the new working group, to review the Cataloguing Code of Ethics 2021 <https://sites.google.com/view/cataloging-ethics/home> for use by the Wiki community?
The Code is a short (3 minute read) document, containing 10 short ethical statements which embody our collective responsibilities for creating, sharing, enriching and preserving the metadata that enables GLAM to expose and link collections. Key messages : - Advocacy for our diverse user communities and for the value of cataloguing and metadata work - Collaborations are key - Jobs, education and training are crucial to create a robust workforce now and in the future - whatever that brings The Cataloguing Ethics Steering Committee (we worked with the cataloguing and metadata community of practice to produce the Code) would be very happy to receive feedback from the Wiki community! If you would like to read about the Codes' journey to date - 2021 was only the start - please read my article <https://journals.cilip.org.uk/catalogue-and-index/article/view/676> published in the March issue of the online journal *Catalogue & Index.* Thank you, Jane Daniels (CESC UK Representative) On Thu, 17 Apr 2025, 07:44 , <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello :) > > > *(survey incoming, apologies for the cross posting)* > The global GLAM community is buzzing with activity!
