Kither, A. and Appleton, L. orcid.org/0000-0003-3564-3447 (2024) Identifying best practice in recording copy-specific elements in special collections cataloging. Cataloging & Classification Quarterly, 62 (1). pp. 7-55. ISSN 0163-9374
Abstract
This paper considers various approaches to the practice of copy-specific descriptive cataloging in rare books and special collections and seeks to identify how practice can be improved to ensure greater discoverability. Through applying a survey method, it identifies some of the core requirements of library professionals and researchers working with these materials and proposes solutions toward the standardization of this practice.
