Hello colleagues. I'm asking a renegade question. I'm writing to those academic libraries with significant institutional museum collections. I'm writing from the perspective of making book holdings pertaining to museum holdings more discoverable with the addition of local notes or added entries etc. While we have Google Books to enable us to delve into the full text of academic books to discover content undiscoverable through our typical ILS, I wonder if any libraries out there add local notes to their ILS to make more discoverable scholarly content found in books pertaining to museum holdings. For example, in a book called Taxing Visions, there is a lengthy discussion of a painting in one's museum. However the cataloging metadata doesn't reflect this. Does anyone out attempt to add local notes to their catalog record to identify value added content for museum works not discoverable through our library systems. I know it's a long shot. Margaret D.
