This paper, based on an exchange of librarians between academic libraries in Canada and Australia, describes the process of planning for and participating in an international job exchange. It highlights the benefits of the exchange and lessons learned from it and reflects on the opportunities for career development and renewal afforded by such a swap. This experience will be contextualized within the continuum of literature on library exchanges. By describing our successful exchange process, the authors aim to encourage more library staff exchanges.
Since the TRC released its Calls to Action, some Canadian libraries have begun the process of replacing biased, outdated, and offensive subject headings. How do we reconcile our colonial, standards-based cataloguing system with terminology that is respectful and reflective of Indigenous worldviews? Presenters discuss thought processes, challenges, and implementation.
