 Although the Library of Congress Subject Headings provide information to search for academic resources, it is critical to recognize the derogatory and dehumanizing subject terminologies. These outdated terms impact researchers as they seek to retrieve their resources. The ASU Library, however, strives to achieve equity for all individuals of various backgrounds including race, gender, disability, class, age, etc. Although these terms affect academic and scholarly pursuits, it is critical that the ASU Library continues to provide access to these unique resources. The ASU Library supports and values the tremendous resources that the Library of Congress provides, though we would also encourage the Library of Congress to continue updating its subject terminologies which promote inclusivity and diversity.
