Collaborative working across the Atlantic - participating the the Subject Headings Working Group of the Cataloguing Code of Ethics

The Cataloguing Code of Ethics was published in January 2021 and represents the culmination of a year of work by a steering committee and six working groups to respond to a need for a set of ethical principles and guidance on professional ethics for metadata workers. This article reflects on my experience as a member of one of the six working groups and explores the group’s methodology and output as well as the next steps planned to incorporate the Code of Ethics into metadata processes at the University of Kent.
