circling back to ask why you have a link to the creepy diary?

I'm glad you enjoyed it! This was a project for a cataloguing class for my MLIS. I included the diary as I wanted to explore what the emotional/ethical limits of cataloguing are in an artistic way. You probably noticed that I didn't include the precise subject heading for his crimes and chose a conspicuous DDC.

I wanted to show how cataloguers could omit information in records that is vital as we are just human and sometimes have biases when creating them. Don’t worry, I was also uncomfortable with it, but I like to make art that is uncomfortable!

WHAT A GENIUS PROJECT. i did notice the imprecision which is why I was so taken aback. A lot of my MLIS (nearly finished) has focused on critical cataloging/ethics and biases. I really admire your creativity.
