Interesting Blog here What's in a word - describing LGBTQ+ collections https://natlib.govt.nz/blog/posts/whats-in-a-word-describing-lgbtq-collecti… It appears that they are using Homosarus for the archival collections - but not the published collections... I wonder how many other NZ libraries are using Homosarus?
