  for seconds

Artists

• usage and the non-verbal context
• 22.1B base heading on usage on works in the
  artists language for those working in
  non-verbal context, base heading on reference
  works
• contemporary artists (dont worry too much about
  reference works but I would try to find life
  date(s) if not in item being cataloged)

9
Artist groups

• groups should be established in SAF according to
  H405
• if group has issued manifestoes or otherwise
  acted as author (used as 110 or 710), you can
  slip it into NAF
• duos are ok in NAF

10
Galleries and museums

• qualifiers are not necessary unless name is weak
• if gallery moves, the qualifier can be
  problematic
• if gallery has two locations, use judgment on
  value of two records
• 24.13 and 24.18, Type 3 (general name)
• Museum of Fine Arts (Saint Petersburg, Fla.)
• Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
• Bordeaux (France). Musée des beaux-arts

11
Named collection?

• generally use name divided by Art collections
  rather than establishing a collection

Records ready for review?

• internal review for those institutions with two
  or more catalogers
• send email to reviewer with record IDs and
  headings
• status s
• pending heading
• work in save, then producing (new pending search
  before production)
• BFM (bibliographic file maintenance)

23
Devoted to the PCC cause?

• dont fret if you cant do complete NACO for a
  title?
• provisional record sometimes the answer
• good bib record does help the cause even if no
  authority record for heading(s)
