Dear colleagues,
Apologies for cross-posting. I’m pleased to announce a MARC record set for online Metropolitan Museum of Art publications. This file includes over 1,600 records and is a mixture of the following:
- Titles with full text available in Watson Library Digital Collections (http://libmma.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/landingpage/collection/p15324coll10)
- Titles with full text or limited preview available in MetPublications (http://www.metmuseum.org/research/metpublications)
- Selected Bulletin of The Metropolitan Museum of Art articles with full text or limited preview available in Met Publications and full text available (for subscribers) in JSTOR
- Collection-level records for selected archival collections, including papers and sound recordings
- Serial records for Museum-published series, such as The children’s bulletin
The records may include more than one link if the resource is available on multiple platforms. A few selected sets of exhibition gallery photography are linked from the record of the related exhibition catalog.
There is much work yet to be done, so we will issue an annual update of the record set as new resources are digitized and older records are updated with links. Please note that these records were created over the last 30 years according to the various
cataloging codes in effect at the time; all authorized headings have been maintained and updated. Many thanks are due to our catalogers: past, present and elsewhere!
All best,
Dan
