Abstract This paper examines the addition of “asexuality” to the Library of Congress Subject Headings as a case study from which to examine the critical cataloging movement. Beginning with a review of some of the theoretical and practical issues around subject access for minoritized and marginalized sexualities, this paper then contextualizes, historicizes, and introduces the critical cataloging movement to the literature, situating it within a larger and longer history of radical cataloging. It will define critical cataloging as a social justice-oriented style of radical cataloging that places an emphasis on radical empathy, outreach work, and recognizes the importance of information maintenance and care. This paper introduces the concept of “catalogic warrant” to characterize the process of “reading” the catalog to examine the harm or benefit of terms on users and the wider library community.

“有性但无性*：” LCSH的重要编目和无性分类

摘要本文研究了“无性”在国会图书馆主题词标题中的添加，以此作为案例研究，以研究关键的编目运动。首先从围绕少数群体化和边缘化性行为的主题访问的一些理论和实践问题开始，然后本文对文献进行了情境化，历史化并将其介绍到文献中，并将其置于一个更大，更长的激进编目历史中。它将把关键性编目定义为激进编目的一种面向社会正义的风格，该风格将重点放在激进同理，外展工作上，并认识到信息维护和维护的重要性。
