Bias in the Fine Arts Range of the Library of Congress Classification System
This lesson is intended to introduce students to bias in the fine arts range. It argues that by privileging fine art over craft, LCC reinforces ideas that white male European art is superior to art made by women and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) artists. The Fine Arts range is arranged by medium. While the fine arts (architecture, painting, sculpture, and drawing) are treated as primary categories (NA for architecture, NB for sculpture, and so on), the craft mediums (glass, woodwork, textiles, and ceramic) are a subdivision of a subdivision, located under “Other Arts and Art Industries” in Decorative Arts (NK). -

Rating Websites with the CRAAP Test (and Using Lateral Reading)
This activity can be done with an example website or with students’ own website they found. It takes about 15-20 minutes to allow enough time for students to rate their articles and participate in a group discussion. The library instructor should introduce the activity by discussing the basics to evaluating resources and highlighting the importance of fact-checking the author and their credentials. Students should be encouraged to fact-check the webpage by Googling information about the site. After students are given about 15 minutes to rate their webpage, the library instructor will ask for participation from students about how they rated their webpage using the different criteria.
