Last month at the Zines + Libraries Conference, we learned about the incredible work of The Homosaurus. The Homosaurus is an international linked data vocabulary of LGBTQ terms that supports improved access to LGBTQ resources within cultural institutions. Designed to serve as a companion to broad subject term vocabularies, the Homosaurus is a robust and cutting-edge vocabulary of LGBTQ-specific terminology that enhances the discoverability of LGBTQ resources.
This vocabulary is intended to function as a companion to broad subject term vocabularies, such as the Library of Congress Subject Headings. Libraries, archives, museums, and other institutions are encouraged to use the Homosaurus to support LGBTQ research.
To support the project, purchase a shirt from their online shop! T-shirts are currently on sale for $15 until tomorrow (8/10) at 5pm CT.
