Reviews
August 15th marked the inaugural meeting of Goldsmiths Library’s Critical Librarianship (#CritLib) Reading Group. We kicked things off with a discussion of Melissa Adlers ‘Classification Along the Color Line: Excavating Racism in the Stacks’ Libraries tend to think of themselves as neutral and their classification systems as ahistorical but Adler contextualises the creation of the most common classification systems within America during Postbellum (Post Civil War for the non-history graduates) historical period when they were written.

Our @mohara3 on why we should be critical of Dewey and his classification system – Dewey Decimal – a system used in thousands of libraries across the globe over at the Goldsmiths Library blog: https://t.co/5MMhftwO0F
Maria O'Hara (Reading List Services Support Co-Ordinator) outlines why we need to question the existing structures of the Library, namely our classification system -Dewey Decimal - a system used in thousands of libraries across the globe. The way information is organised can have a profound and often invisible effect on how we think about, and assign value to, information. Both library users and librarians can assume that, because we have a system, our collections are organised in an impartial, logical way.
