"Words are powerful. The way we name and classify the world around us is indicative of our values and beliefs. The words we use and the names we choose to identify elements in our world can illuminate, educate, and elucidate, or they can perpetuate stereotypes and misinformation.... Indeed, these perceptions of the world, embedded in a succinct value system [like call numbers and subject headings in a library], include matters of time, the importance of place, and the relationships between the physical, mental, spiritual, and social domains." Littletree, Sandra, and Cheryl A.
