Good morning all,
I am a secondary school library undertaking my Prof. Reg. Chartership and I'm looking at Area 3 - The Wider Context. I'm looking to connect with individuals working outside of school libraries to discuss any changes you have made, or are thinking of making, to the classification of books about autism and ADHD. I was involved in a discussion about this on a Secondary School Librarian group that I am part of, but didn't think to look further afield. I'm not looking to challenge anyone, but rather want to make sure I am being inclusive with our cataloguing and classification, especially as we have students who are going through different stages of the diagnosis process and have different levels of understanding and acceptance of this. I want to ensure that the language we are using and the classifications we are using are not offensive or alienating to our students.
Please let me know if you would like to discuss.
Many thanks,
Tiffany
