Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the ARLIS/NA Communications and Publications Committee it is my pleasure to announce the launch of a new ARLIS/NA Online Publication:

Cataloging Exhibition Publications: Best Practices
Name and Title Access Points

Written and compiled by:

Lynda Bunting, Sherman Clarke, Marly Helm, Elizabeth Lilker, Elizabeth O'Keefe, Sarah Quimby, Daniel Starr

 

This new Online Publication provides invaluable recommendations for creating name and title access points when cataloging exhibition catalogs -- illuminating all the particular issues and challenges associated with these main and added entries. How are exhibition venues traced? Who is the main entry – artist or author? Thorny questions such as these are answered concisely and with real-world examples.

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 latest section of best practice guidelines (Name and Title Access Points) is offered to users completely free of charge.  The entire series of best practice guidelines for cataloguing exhibition catalogues (Title and Statement of Responsibility; Notes; Subject headings; and Name and Title Access Points) are available from the Online Publications section of the ARLIS/NA website.
