Title

Finding the forest among the trees : the potential of collection-level cataloging

Source

Cataloging and classification quarterly. 23(1996) no.1, S.xx-xx

Year

1996

Abstract

Both the contextual focus of current literary and historical scholarship and the increasing pressure on libraries to process more with fewer resources make collection-level cataloging an attractive option for certain kinds of collections, not only of manuscripts, but also of printed materials and graphics. A 1991 project involving Cornell's French Revolution Collection offers an example of how collection-level cataloging can be used to process a massive group of materials in multiple formats. The author describes how the project proceeded, the advantages of cataloging in the RLIN AMC (Archival and Manuscript Control) and VIM (Visual Materials) formats, and the advantages of creating a hierarchy of records. The essay concludes with a discussion of other possible uses of collection-level cataloging and its advantages over minimal-level cataloging.
