Amid the stuffy, oppressive, stinky heat of New York City in late August, is it even possible to remember the cooler, albeit grayer, days of late February?
To aid in the quest for refreshing thoughts (or at least a happy distraction), linked here are the handouts from Kelly Swickard’s fantastic mini-presentations at the Cataloging Section’s Annual Meeting at this year’s conference:
Adding Binding Information to Artists’ Book Records, on using the 563 field to add binding characteristics
Cataloging Art Publications, which may be of particular interest; the handout was originally written as a manual for paraprofessional staff, and covers a lot of the particulars of art book cataloging in one brief yet information-packed document. It is RDA-compliant as of late February of this year.
Many thanks again to Kelly for sharing these, and my abundant apologies to everyone for taking so long to get these posted.
Stay cool!

That’s an awesome photo! It took some effort to bring the bench to the water, I guess.
