- Abstract
- When entering information into a library catalog, a cataloger holds a lot of power as to the representation of certain groups within the library's online catalog. Catalogers have a responsibility to present information fairly and inclusively. Much like a librarian must avoid bias when selecting books for purchase, the cataloger must be careful to be inclusive in choosing subject headings and be aware of inherent biases that may prevent a patron from accessing the resources needed. Using qualitative analysis, this paper examines the representation of the Lumbee Indian Tribe of North Carolina within academic library catalogs of North Carolina institutions
