Abstract

Abstract Knowledge, as it has been shaped in the United States, is grounded in whiteness. As a result, maps and geospatial data can be particularly harmful in perpetuating historically and experientially inaccurate narratives of space. As stewards of knowledge, librarians are uniquely positioned to implement policies advancing antiracist practices. The following paper analyzes diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in cartographic collection development, metadata, and instruction, and discusses the opportunities for librarians to employ critical theory in their cartographic and geospatial library praxis.

反思空间收集开发、元数据和教学中的关键DEI实践

在美国形成的知识是以白人为基础的。因此，地图和地理空间数据尤其有害，因为它们使历史上和经验上不准确的空间叙述永久化。作为知识的管理者，图书馆员在执行促进反种族主义实践的政策方面具有独特的地位。以下文章分析了地图馆藏发展、元数据和教学中的多样性、公平性和包容性(DEI)，并讨论了图书馆员在地图和地理空间图书馆实践中运用批判理论的机会。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is a multidisciplinary publication that covers international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and geospatial information. Papers submitted undergo a rigorous peer-review process by professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography, cartographic materials, and the mapping and spatial sciences. The journal accepts original theory-based, case study, and practical papers that substantially advance an understanding of the mapping sciences in all of its forms to support users of map and geospatial collections, archives, and similar institutions.
