Dear ARLIS/NA Members,
On behalf of the Communications and Publications Committee it is my pleasure to announce the launch of a new ARLIS/NA Online Publication:
Written and compiled by:
Lynda Bunting, Sherman Clarke, Marly Helm, S. Isidor Justeson, Elizabeth Lilker, Elizabeth O'Keefe, Sarah Quimby, Daniel Starr, Lori Van Deman.
This new Online Publication provides invaluable insights into cataloging subject heading fields for exhibition catalogs - illuminating the particular issues and
challenges associated with these 6xx fields, including meeting names, named works of art, and the use of genre terms.
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.

This new online publication is the third devoted to providing best practice guidelines for cataloging exhibition catalogs. The series of three are:
This and all ARLIS/NA Online Publications are offered to users free of charge and can be accessed from the ARLIS Website at:
