ArtMARC Sourcebook
Cataloging Art, Architecture, and their Visual Images

Linda McRae and Lynda S. White, editors,
for The Art Libraries Society of North America

Catalogers of art materials have had few resources or guidelines for
cataloging such works as prints, photographs, slides, and digital images.
Thankfully, with the introduction of the ArtMARC Sourcebook, this has
changed.

Profiling the proven cataloging methods of experts from libraries, art
galleries, museums, and other institutions, the ArtMARC Sourcebook
outlines cataloging techniques on a wide variety of resources from
ancient artifacts to architectural drawings.  Its practical guidance helps
librarians modify and standardize MARC to meet the challenge of
organizing diverse materials for patron access.

With the ArtMARC Sourcebook, the editors have compiled a valuable
data dictionary on the MARC fields, plus data conversion comments.  A
complete bibliography categorized by different management areas also
provides vital resources designed to further improve the practice of art
cataloging.
