• Abstract:
  The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) plays an important role in the standards community. Kathryn Miller, Publishing Services Librarian at the NIST Research Library and Museum, shares how NIST responded to the problem of exclusionary, biased, and harmful language in standards and standards-related research. The Library collaborated with the Standards Inclusivity Effort to update the NIST Technical Series Publications author instructions with new sections on inclusive language. They also created inclusive language guidance for NIST staff who participate in standards development activities. This Transportation Librarians Roundtable was part of a multi-month series focusing on Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA), and the practical and professional applications of those values in our libraries and on behalf of those who we serve.
