Charge
The Inclusive Description Task force evaluates problematic and offensive LCSH, and may work in coordination with the Norm Rules Joint Task Force to create CSU wide solutions for these headings. This task force expands on the work that was done with the LCSH heading “Illegal Aliens”, examining other headings and proposing CSU-wide solutions wherever possible.
In addition, this task force may work with the CSU SACO funnel. Subject Headings for the task force will be identified via suggestions as well as by existing resources, such as the Problem LCSH list on Cataloging Lab: https://cataloginglab.org/problem-lcsh/ .
