Mysteriously I still have access to my university email account, where I've just found an email from the about the work they've been doing on Culturally Aware

Mostly this has been focused on greatly expanding the keywords associated with and related texts, so they're much more discoverable as well as more culturally sensitive

e.g. the Woiwurrung language (aka Woiworong, and many more spellings) is spoken by the Wurundjeri people, whom white colonisers variously referred to in their records as "the Yarra Yarra tribe", "Port Phillip tribe", "Jaga Jaga tribe", "Jagger Jagger tribe", "Doutta Galla tribe", "Nuther Galla tribe"

So now the library is better cross-referenced and better prepared for whatever spellings a user might search for

But there's also a case study of how they handle works by or about authors or subjects who change their names, e.g. Elliot Page, and instructions on what you would need to do if your thesis is held in the university library but you have since changed your name (first you need to get your original student record changed)

I was surprised to see that in a lot of these cases an Australian university library takes its cues from the US

However, the language data comes via AUSTLANG and the subject and place name terms come from AIATSIS Pathways. A great resource!
