Abstract

abstract: This qualitative research study explores the ways that academic librarians in England undertake and perceive classification and cataloging work to engage in wider decolonization initiatives. The research consisted of semi-structured interviews, and thematic analysis was used to identify key themes. The study found that the participant librarians highly value this work based on a perception of its moral importance, rather than concrete proof of impact. Benefits from a decolonization perspective were not always clear. Challenges include staffing shortages and technological limitations.
论英国高等教育图书馆的分类系统偏差
本定性研究探讨了英国学术图书馆员从事和感知分类编目工作的方式,以参与更广泛的非殖民化倡议。研究由半结构化访谈组成,并采用主题分析来确定关键主题。研究发现,参与研究的图书馆员基于对其道德重要性的认知,而不是对其影响的具体证明,高度重视这项工作。非殖民化的好处并不总是很清楚。挑战包括人员短缺和技术限制。
