Ethical Cataloguing Guidelines
UCD Digital Library are very proud to launch our Ethical Cataloguing Guidelines. The guidelines were extensively researched and compiled by our metadata librarian, Órna Roche, and demonstrate our commitment to describing material accurately, respectfully, and in a way that will not cause distress or offence.
Topics covered by the Guidelines document include: sensitivity criteria; language in descriptive records; underrepresented communities in descriptions; language/imagery in the content; controlled vocabularies; and guidelines for medical, disability, and related collections.
New Mirador Help Video Tutorials
We now have a series of tutorial videos on how to use the Mirador Image Viewer's exciting new features, including an introduction to Mirador, Saving and Sharing Images, and using Maps.
UCD Digital Library has upgraded its default image viewer for visual resources to Mirador version 2.5.2. Mirador, a IIIF-compliant viewer, now includes further enhancements, including a View Map tool, a 'lock zoom' tool, a Transcription tool (where appropriate), and more detailed Help.
