So pleased to announce that the Amon Carter Museum of American Art Research Library<https://www.cartermuseum.org/research-carter/library> has uploaded about 9,000 names from our artist files collection to WorldCat. We implemented the Artist Files SIG cataloging best practices<http://artistfiles.arlisna.org/best-practices-for-cataloging-artist-files-using-marc/>, transforming a spreadsheet of names into MARC using MarcEdit<https://marcedit.reeset.net/>. The best practices help normalize cataloging so that searches can yield more predictable and comprehensive results. Now a WorldCat search such as “ti:daniel garber artist file” (the search below was done in Connexion) does a more complete job of showing which institutions have a file on Garber (with our holdings highlighted on top!). Direct any questions to Caroline Clavell, Technical Services Librarian, [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
