Hello Josh, Thank you for your feed back on the artist book fields. Everyone's comments have been so incredibly helpful. Seeing your catalog records was also great. There's another project for some day: making these fields sortable. Right now, we are using "tags" for the binding style and many of the other specifications, but sorting by these fields would be even better. I'll put it on the wish list. In the meantime I've changed these two fields based on your input: "Book Structure" is now "Book Structure/Binding Method" "Reproduction Method" is now "Printing/Reproduction Method" I love how this project is evolving. We are down to less than 50 books and 20 broadsides that still need to be added to our web store. Didn't quite make the March 1 deadline, but close. Have a good day, Laura ***************************** Laura Russell 23 Sandy Gallery 623 NE 23rd Avenue Portland, OR 97232 Phone: 503-927-4409 Email: [log in to unmask] Keep Up With 23 Sandy Gallery News Web site: www.23Sandy.com Blog: www.23sandy.com/works/blog Facebook: www.facebook.com/23sandygallery Twitter: www.twitter.com/laurarussell23 Google+: www.gplus.to/LauraRussell On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 10:00 PM, ARLIS-L automatic digest system < [log in to unmask]> wrote: > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:36:23 +0000 > From: "Hockensmith, Josh" <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Re: artist book cataloging fields feedback request > > I'm glad to see this discussion. > > Here at UNC-Chapel Hill we've been working for a while on enhancing our > catalog records for artists' books with more descriptive information. > After a lot of frustrating work with LC, AAT and other established > cataloging thesauri, we finally settled on creating our own local thesaurus > of terms as the most flexible, efficient approach. > > We decided that the 2 most important areas we wanted to provide more info > on (and which were the least well represented in other thesauri) could be > represented in a "Binding method" field and a "Printing/production method" > field.
