NACO considerations for art headings Sherman Clarke New York University Libraries

Art NACO workshop 2000 examples of 670s “other resources” such as Getty vocabularies, biographical resources, geographic links duplicate authority records notes from training at Met

Reference works & citations Thieme-Becker Bénézit (include edition) Grove (“How to cite” on home page, revised to NACO 670 = Grove art online, [date] $b [data]) Intern. dir. of arts, [year]: $b v. [#], p. [#] ([data]) –give volume and page particularly when not clear if museum or gallery WwasW in Amer. art, 1985 $b ([data]) WW in Amer. art, 2001/2002 $b ([data])

NAF/SAF subject headings officially outside of scope for Art NACO but advice cheerfully given H405 and “The divided world” (list also appears in MARC documentation) SACO proposals need at least one extra 67X buildings –buildings as exhibition venues ancient sites (GeoNet: PPL vs ANS) artist groups

Possible sources for extra 670s for buildings architectural guides, e.g. Pevsner, Guide rionali di Roma tourist guides (caution: language) WWW &c (as always, use judgment)

SH proposal for Tall Jidr 151 Tall Jidr (Extinct city) 451 Tell Gidr (Extinct city) 670 [work cataloged] 670 GeoNet, June 13, 2005 $b (Tall Jidr [Iraq]; variant: Tell Gidr; ANS; 31° 51' 00" N 045° 58' 00" E) [use superscript zero for degrees, miagkyi znak for minutes, tverdyi znak for seconds]

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

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

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 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

Named collection? generally use name divided by “– Art collections” rather than establishing a collection

RLIN21 client for NACO account needs to be enabled for NACO profile needs to be created for NAF input; defaults can be changed save status as default linked to profile (impetus for separate profile for NACO work) templates

input set to include NAF default input SAVE mode as default template (under default session settings)

GENerating an authority record if your user ID and logon profile are established for NAF input, you will get a checkmark next to any heading which is valid for name authority record; clicking on checkmark opens record with some fields filled in

Records ready for review? internal review for those institutions with two or more catalogers send 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)

Devoted to the PCC cause? don’t fret if you can’t 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)
