Chenhall does not seem to take into account (or has not updated to) the
newer technology and I am having a hard time figuring out how to list certain
items. Some of our photograph collection are 'Computer Scan only" types
(persons loaned us their old photos for scanning, kept the originals & we have
only the scans), or scans/pdf files were sent to us on either zip discs or CD-
Roms (both photos and scans of archival materials). I have stated under home
location on our catalog page the items that are 'Computer Scan Only" and
added to the Lexicon "Scan, Digital", but how do I name Zip disks, PDF files on
either Zip Disks/CDs, and CD-roms?
Due to time & staff constraints (me, me & me) very few of these files have
been printed, so the digital file is all we have at the moment. These items
have been cataloged as well as possible, and are listed on our online catalog,
but non-requests for the materials have made them low-man on the printing
pole. If they are ever printed (& I know it would be much better for
retention), how would you update the cataloging (the electronic files are
cataloged in their broad area:photos/archives/library)?
So much great stuff, so little time!!
