As long as the correct title appears on the Title Page, it meets the library criterion. As long as the title appears on the spine (in a font large enough to be read from a couple of feet away), it meets at least minimum patron standards. As for the cover, I'm guessing an illustration has been chosen that the curator simply can't imagine being "marred" by text. That's why you need a "final voice" designated for the cover. Authors almost never have control of the covers of their books. Of course, I think the argument can be made that exhibition catalogs aren't like mass market paperbacks. I'm glad it's not my decision. --shannon On Wed, Jun 12, 2013 at 11:45 AM, Kitty Jansen <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > Dear collective wisdom,**** > > ** ** > > One of our curators, together with our graphic designer, is for the first > time involved in the design of the catalog for a biennial exhibition of > contemporary Native American art she has been curating for years.**** > > ** ** > > She would like the title of the publication to only appear on the spine, > not on the cover of the catalog, but one of her colleagues thinks that does > not "accommodate the clientele".**** > > ** ** > > There are blog postings to be found about this topic, but we would also > welcome your feedback on the practicalities of this.**** > > ** ** > > Looking forward to your reactions,**** > > ** ** > > ** ** > > Kitty.**** > > ** ** > > ** ** > > Kitty Jansen, MA, MLS**** > > Librarian**** > > Watanabe Family Library**** > > Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art**** > > 500 West Washington St.**** > > Indianapolis, IN 46204**** > > **** > > 317-275-1346 phone**** > > 317-275-1446 fax**** > > www.eiteljorg.org**** > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
