Sounding the Radical Catalog
Sounding the Radical Catalog amplifies the invisible work of catalogers. As these knowledge workers make daily decisions about how to describe and order library materials, they produce the bibliographic universe piece by piece. That universe is governed by the “master narrative” of knowledge organization systems like the Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings. Their work creates meaning for library patrons who retrieve items from collections while reproducing--or interrupting--the existing knowledge organization structures.
