“…There are some useful, library-specific primers proactively creating accessible content, both for developers and content creators, that will remain relevant for some time despite technological innovations (Baker, 2014;Riley-Huff, 2015;Ng, 2017;Ng and Schofield, 2017). Lee et al (2013) and Beyene (2017Beyene ( , 2018 consider how catalogers could use accessibility-specific metadata to aid users in discovering and identifying accessible resources. Babu and Xie (2017) and Xie et al (2015) provide concrete ideas about how to enhance metadata for digitized and born-digital objects to enhance their accessibility.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review the library and information science literature related to the accessibility of digital resources by individuals with mental, physical or other impairments, to assess the state of research in the field and to explore new avenues for investigation. Design/methodology/approach There is an increasingly rich body of literature surrounding digital accessibility in libraries, ranging from practical guides for authors of Web content, to principles of universal design, to the ethical considerations of libraries subscribing to packages of digital content, to critical examinations of the accessibility guidelines themselves. This review is intended to be illustrative, not exhaustive; less attention is given to studies of specific tools that will become quickly outdated, and more attention is given to underlying considerations and approaches that will remain relevant even as technologies change. Findings Many libraries and vendors have taken steps to provide equal access to websites and electronic resources in recent years. While the literature reflects an increasing level of critical engagement with concepts around disability and diversity, it also demonstrates methodological weaknesses in assessment projects that do not lead to meaningful accessibility. Originality/value This review offers theoretical and practical perspectives from recent work that can assist librarians in planning and decision-making, as they deal with an increasingly complex landscape of digital resources.

“…While cataloging researchers and practitioners have been contemplating cataloging ethics for decades (e.g., Berman, 1971; Olson, 2002), social justice movements and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in the last 10 years have yielded greater awareness of ethical issues in cataloging and an increase in the number of research studies and initiatives exploring ethics in cataloging work. Recent research literature on cataloging ethics has focused on topics such as the need for a cataloging code of ethics, as well as ethical issues related to subject vocabularies and classification systems, descriptive cataloging and authority work, and cataloging for specific topics, audiences, and materials (e.g., Shoemaker, 2015; Watson, 2020; Billey, Drabinski, Roberto, 2014; Lee, Nam, & Nam, 2013; Dobreski, Snow, & Moulaison‐Sandy, 2022).…”

This panel considers the bridge between research and practice in cataloging ethics. Cataloging ethics – including indexing and classification – is an important part of practice, yet cataloging ethics research and practice are not always clearly connected. The purpose of this panel is to build towards more evidence‐based cataloging ethics practice. Two main areas will be considered. The Cataloging Code of Ethics (2021) is a vital part of these discussions: this major codification of cataloging ethics was the result of both practitioner input and much research. This panel will discuss ways in which the Code can lead to more research‐informed practices. Teaching and training is a crucial – and under‐discussed – aspect of cataloging ethics, both within library and information science education and workplace training. Therefore, the panel will contemplate how training and teaching can germinate research‐based practices. The panel will be in three parts: a panel presentation about cataloging ethics, including each member's perspectives and experiences on teaching and training in cataloging ethics; small group discussions about real world cataloging ethics scenarios, utilizing the Code to generate discussion; and feedback to the whole group with a closing discussion about strengthening the relationship between practice and research in cataloging ethics.
