LISTSERV 16.5 - ARLIS-L Archives

Dear Lois,
There is a major effort called "Cataloging Cultural Objects: A Guide to Describing Cultural Works and Their Images". These cataloging guidelines address the needs of cataloging all types of cultural objects and visual materials.

CCO is a VRA sponsored project, with funding from the Getty, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the DLF. There has been wide community input, from the archival, museum, visual resources, and library communities. A draft version is available at:
http://www.vraweb.org/CCOweb/index.html

There will also be a session at the upcoming ARLIS conference that discusses CCO; there many other venues at which CCO will be discussed and training workshops offered during the next year. The CCO web site provides information about these venues as well.

If you have further questions, please let me know.
Ann Whiteside
CCO co-editor

Dear List,

I am writing a paper for my graduate class on recent changes in
cataloging/descriptive standards for visual materials. I haven't found a
lot of material in the journal databases I searched. I also checked web
sites for organizations like ARLIS, VRA, RLIN, OCLC and LC for drafts of
documents which might be pertinent.

Have I missed something major or is it accurate to say there hasn't
been much happening in the last 5 years? I understand MARC 21 has come
out and AACR2 has been revised again, but aside from those?

Thank you for suggestions.
