Homosaurus

 

Cross stitch
Designed and stitched by Miranda Nero

“As catalogers, we are tasked with providing access to materials, but the default vocabulary for subject headings are often obsolete for marginalized communities. The Homosaurus vocabulary expands on those headings to help make the catalog more inclusive for members of the LGBTQ community. This piece represents the extra work we choose to do for our communities. The edges are left frayed because no matter how much we do, there will always be loose ends.”

Miranda Nero is the cataloging librarian for Ocean State Libraries in Warwick, Rhode Island.

The cross stitch shows the logo for the Homosaurus linked data vocabulary. It is stitched onto a purple backing and all four edges have been frayed.
