Subject headings, catalog descriptions, and other metadata. Metadata challenges such as inconsistent naming and problematic descriptions are a barrier to research and signal that collecting institutions are not respectful allies. Rectifying this involves work by individual archives, libraries, and special collections and collaborative endeavors, including leadership from professional organizations (e.g. ALA, ACRL, SAA) and appropriate community stakeholders. [88] [89] [89] Recent symposia on decolonizing classification and Indigenizing description are great examples of how collective work in this area is being initiated (Making Meaning I at the University of Alberta, Making Meaning II at the University of British Columbia; In Our Words at Ryerson University; Sorting Libraries Out at Simon Fraser University).
