Dear ARLIS/NA members,
On behalf of the Publications Committee it is my pleasure to announce the launch of a new ARLIS/NA Online Publication:
Cataloging Exhibition Publications: Best Practices
Title and Statement of Responsibility<http://www.arlisna.org/resources/onlinepubs/cataloging.pdf>
Written and Compiled by:
Penny Baker, Lynda Bunting, Anne Champagne, Sherman Clarke, Linda Cuccurullo, Claudia Hill, Elizabeth Lilker, Nancy Norris, Elizabeth O'Keefe, Maria Oldal, Trudi Olivetti, Elizabeth Robinson, Judy Silverman, Daniel Starr, Kay Teel.
This publication of best practices, created by the ARLIS/NA Cataloging Advisory Committee, is devoted to providing practical guidance to catalogers working with art exhibition publications. These guidelines are intended to be used in conjunction with other cataloging documentation, including Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules 2nd edition, 2002 revision (AACR2), and its successor, Resource Description and Access (RDA), Library of Congress Rule Interpretations (LCRI), and MARC21.
The cataloging of exhibition publications poses unique challenges to new and experienced catalogers alike. These types of publications often require more use of a cataloger's judgment, and more intervention in terms of transposing, omitting, and supplying data. Decision-making about the choice of a primary access point can be quite involved, and local practices and guidelines greatly affect how an exhibition publication is cataloged.
This first section of best practice guidelines is devoted to the Title and Statement of Responsibility fields of the MARC record. this division of record elements follows the data field divisions set forth by the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD): title and statement of responsibility area; edition area; type and extent of resource area; publication, distribution, etc., area; physical description area; series area; note area; standard number (or alternative) and terms of availability area.
This ARLIS/NA Online Publication is offered free of charge to users and can be accessed from the ARLIS Website at:

Or simply select "Online Publications" from the "Resources" tab at the ARLIS Website http://www.arlisna.org/
