- Abstract
- The broadside ballads collections at Oxford University's Bodleian Library comprise over 30,000 titles and are an important resource for researchers in popular literature between the 16th and 19th centuries. The creation of a digital database of the ballads has presented the challenge of cataloguing and indexing a large collection of documents containing both textual and visual material. Discusses issues surrounding the subject indexing using ICONCLASS of the woodcut illustrations of the ballads, including: differences between the cataloguing and indexing of images and of texts; how the indexing of visual and textual material should be integrated; how successful is ICONCLASS in establishing communication between the indexer and the user; and what is the appropriate interface for a large collection of items with a wide variety of potential users
