Artist Book Collections.
Many thanks to all those who responded directly - and to the list - about
databases for artist books (and other things). The suggestions were:
MITINET/marc (WI)
Winnebago (MN)
INMAGIC
ProCite
Filemaker Pro
(Three people mentioned Procite, one commenting on lack of space in some
fields.)
The Colophon page (http://colophon.com) search device was also mentioned.
Having established this much I guess I should follow up with another
question:
Does anyone have a cataloging format that they have devized specifically
for artist books and similar odd ducks that could be used with Filemaker Pro or
one of the other databases? One that would work also with unskilled labor and
which could translate to MARC.
Many thanks again.
