Hinweis der Redaktion
- This presentation was prepared as a case study for the 7th Library Annual Research Day organised by the University of Guyana Library. It was held on 14 June 2017. I wanted to present a case of how the lives of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer Caribbean citizens can be shown through other means especially when they are not shown in the collections of the Library. HQ74 is the code for sexualities. Parts of this presentation were made during a previous webinar “Caribbean LGBTIQ history on the Digital Library of the Caribbean “ at https://youtu.be/8KLgmHqVhaI

- I use the Case study format for the presentation. I present the problem first which the Caribbean IRN wanted to solve. I then present the solution of making Digital Library of the Caribbean collections.
- I use this snapshot of a University of Guyana library catolog search for 'Caribbean + homosexuality' to show the results which are available. I position the image of the Guyana Trans United protesting the exclusion from Court because of the cross dressing to show how the libraries are not current with the dynamic trends in how LGBTIQ citizens are demanding equality.
- These are some of the websites associated with the Caribbean IRN.
- This is a snapshot of http://www.dloc.com . The Digital Library of the Caribbean is managed by the University of Florida with other partners.
- This is the front page of the Caribbean IRN collection of about 300 items. There are two sub collections – the Gay Freedom Movement of Jamaica and the Rainbow Alliance of the Bahamas
- This shows examples of the kind of items. The first one is a collection of the notes related to the punishment of two immigrants from India to British Guiana. These were donated by Gaiutra Bahadur who found these notes during her research for her book Coolie Woman The second item contains a collection of documets and audio files related to the Launch of a survey done in Guyana
- DLOC allows different file types to be stored collectively.
- This is the first page after you log in
- The copyright considerations are important
- This shows some of the meta data fields
- This shows some of the other meta data fileds
- This shows the Edito mode
- I hope that other Guyanese information centres, documentation centres, archives and libraries would consider platforms similar to the Digital Library of the Caribbean.
