TRU Library Harmful Language Statement

Some materials and their descriptions in the library’s collections, such as subject headings, contain harmful language that is racist, ableist, transphobic, or otherwise harmful to racialized and marginalized peoples.

We acknowledge that language is not neutral, nor are the individuals who create the materials and records in our holdings. What constitutes appropriate language varies across different times, locations, and contexts as well as with the social position of the creator. TRU Library cannot edit the descriptions of items contained in many of the online resources to which we are subscribed; however, we are committed to updating and revising our own descriptive language where possible.

If you encounter language in catalogue records and material descriptions that you find problematic, offensive, or harmful, or if you have questions or concerns, we welcome your feedback. Please contact the University Librarian, Tania Gottschalk, at tgottschalk@tru.ca.
