Existing organizational systems including Dewey and Library of Congress Classification are insufficient for accurately describing and providing access to Native topics. From 2019 to 2024, the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Libraries worked with community members to create a new classification system, Maawn Doobiigeng (Gather Together). Attendees will learn about the process of creating this new system, how it is being implemented, and how it is being used by staff and patrons. |
