Notes

The ARLIS/NA Cataloging Advisory Committee has drafted these best practices to provide practical guidance to catalogers working with art exhibition publications. The guidelines are confined to cataloging issues and situations characteristic of this type of material; they are intended to be used with and are compatible with other cataloging documentation including Resource Description and Access (RDA) and LC-PCC Policy Statements and Metadata Guidance Documents. Examples have been given using the MARC21 format for consistency and familiarity, but MARC21 is not a prescribed or preferred schema. The order of notes in this document generally follows the WEMI framework but can be adjusted for local practice or when it has been decided that a particular note is of primary importance

Assigning Subject and Genre/Form Headings

These best practices are concerned with applying the Library of Congress Subject Headings to art exhibition publications, and are intended for use with the relevant sections of the Library of Congress Subject Headings Manual. Assigning subject headings to exhibition publications presents a great opportunity for the exercise of cataloger’s judgment. Not only are art exhibition publications frequently published with little information about their subject beyond an artist’s name and a short checklist, but the existing bibliographic records that catalogers follow as examples can vary widely according to local practices. Many of these practices can depart from established standards published in the Library of Congress Subject Headings Manual

Title and Statement of Responsibility

Some forms of exhibition documentation, such as brochures or checklists, are produced in-house and may present bibliographical information in an unconventional fashion, requiring the cataloger to look well beyond the title page or even beyond the publication itself. Exhibition publications often require more use of cataloger's judgment, and more intervention in terms of transposing, omitting, and supplying data. Decision-making about the choice of a primary access point can be quite involved. And cataloging exhibition publications is probably more affected by local practices and guidelines than any other area of art documentation, since catalogers who work at institutions that mount or host exhibitions are often expected to provide more detail about their own institutions' publications. Though these are local practices, it is useful to alert other catalogers to this phenomenon

If You See Something, Submit Something: A Beginners Guide to Contributing to Controlled Vocabularies

Reparative cataloging is some of the most transformative work being done in libraries today. Old terms are being reexamined and either updated or cast aside, while new terms are emerging that reflect the diversity of our times. Many of these evolving vocabularies, however, appear at first glance to be created and carefully guarded by large, somewhat intimidating institutions. This leads many catalogers to feel as if they have no role in changing and expanding these vocabularies, but that is just not the case. What this panel intends to do is bring together librarians from a range of libraries to help demystify the process of submitting terms to various controlled vocabularies. There will be presentations on contributing Library of Congress subject headings and name authority records, adding to or correcting terms in the Getty Vocabularies, and creating or revising records in Wikidata. These presentations will provide practical guidance necessary for catalogers to begin confidently contributing to vocabularies used by libraries worldwide. Attendees will gain confidence in their ability to participate in the maintenance and transformation of these essential resources. By broadening and diversifying the pool of contributors to these vocabularies, we can ensure that they begin to more accurately reflect the diversity of people and communities who rely on them

Sex-dimorphic genetic effects and novel loci for fasting glucose and insulin variability

none204Differences between sexes contribute to variation in the levels of fasting glucose and insulin. Epidemiological studies established a higher prevalence of impaired fasting glucose in men and impaired glucose tolerance in women, however, the genetic component underlying this phenomenon is not established. We assess sex-dimorphic (73,089/50,404 women and 67,506/47,806 men) and sex-combined (151,188/105,056 individuals) fasting glucose/fasting insulin genetic effects via genome-wide association study meta-analyses in individuals of European descent without diabetes. Here we report sex dimorphism in allelic effects on fasting insulin at IRS1 and ZNF12 loci, the latter showing higher RNA expression in whole blood in women compared to men. We also observe sex-homogeneous effects on fasting glucose at seven novel loci. Fasting insulin in women shows stronger genetic correlations than in men with waist-to-hip ratio and anorexia nervosa. Furthermore, waist-to-hip ratio is causally related to insulin resistance in women, but not in men. These results position dissection of metabolic and glycemic health sex dimorphism as a steppingstone for understanding differences in genetic effects between women and men in related phenotypes.noneLagou V.; Magi R.; Hottenga J.-J.; Grallert H.; Perry J.R.B.; Bouatia-Naji N.; Marullo L.; Rybin D.; Jansen R.; Min J.L.; Dimas A.S.; Ulrich A.; Zudina L.; Gadin J.R.; Jiang L.; Faggian A.; Bonnefond A.; Fadista J.; Stathopoulou M.G.; Isaacs A.; Willems S.M.; Navarro P.; Tanaka T.; Jackson A.U.; Montasser M.E.; O'Connell J.R.; Bielak L.F.; Webster R.J.; Saxena R.; Stafford J.M.; Pourcain B.S.; Timpson N.J.; Salo P.; Shin S.-Y.; Amin N.; Smith A.V.; Li G.; Verweij N.; Goel A.; Ford I.; Johnson P.C.D.; Johnson T.; Kapur K.; Thorleifsson G.; Strawbridge R.J.; Rasmussen-Torvik L.J.; Esko T.; Mihailov E.; Fall T.; Fraser R.M.; Mahajan A.; Kanoni S.; Giedraitis V.; Kleber M.E.; Silbernagel G.; Meyer J.; Muller-Nurasyid M.; Ganna A.; Sarin A.-P.; Yengo L.; Shungin D.; Luan J.; Horikoshi M.; An P.; Sanna S.; Boettcher Y.; Rayner N.W.; Nolte I.M.; Zemunik T.; Iperen E.; Kovacs P.; Hastie N.D.; Wild S.H.; McLachlan S.; Campbell S.; Polasek O.; Carlson O.; Egan J.; Kiess W.; Willemsen G.; Kuusisto J.; Laakso M.; Dimitriou M.; Hicks A.A.; Rauramaa R.; Bandinelli S.; Thorand B.; Liu Y.; Miljkovic I.; Lind L.; Doney A.; Perola M.; Hingorani A.; Kivimaki M.; Kumari M.; Bennett A.J.; Groves C.J.; Herder C.; Koistinen H.A.; Kinnunen L.; Faire U.; Bakker S.J.L.; Uusitupa M.; Palmer C.N.A.; Jukema J.W.; Sattar N.; Pouta A.; Snieder H.; Boerwinkle E.; Pankow J.S.; Magnusson P.K.; Krus U.; Scapoli C.; de Geus E.J.C.N.; Bluher M.; Wolffenbuttel B.H.R.; Province M.A.; Abecasis G.R.; Meigs J.B.; Hovingh G.K.; Lindstrom J.; Wilson J.F.; Wright A.F.; Dedoussis G.V.; Bornstein S.R.; Schwarz P.E.H.; Tonjes A.; Winkelmann B.R.; Boehm B.O.; Marz W.; Metspalu A.; Price J.F.; Deloukas P.; Korner A.; Lakka T.A.; Keinanen-Kiukaanniemi S.M.; Saaristo T.E.; Bergman R.N.; Tuomilehto J.; Wareham N.J.; Langenberg C.; Mannisto S.; Franks P.W.; Hayward C.; Vitart V.; Kaprio J.; Visvikis-Siest S.; Balkau B.; Altshuler D.; Rudan I.; Stumvoll M.; Campbell H.; van Duijn C.M.; Gieger C.; Illig T.; Ferrucci L.; Pedersen N.L.; Pramstaller P.P.; Boehnke M.; Frayling T.M.; Shuldiner A.R.; Peyser P.A.; Kardia S.L.R.; Palmer L.J.; Penninx B.W.; Meneton P.; Harris T.B.; Navis G.; Harst P.; Smith G.D.; Forouhi N.G.; Loos R.J.F.; Salomaa V.; Soranzo N.; Boomsma D.I.; Groop L.; Tuomi T.; Hofman A.; Munroe P.B.; Gudnason V.; Siscovick D.S.; Watkins H.; Lecoeur C.; Vollenweider P.; Franco-Cereceda A.; Eriksson P.; Jarvelin M.-R.; Stefansson K.; Hamsten A.; Nicholson G.; Karpe F.; Dermitzakis E.T.; Lindgren C.M.; McCarthy M.I.; Froguel P.; Kaakinen M.A.; Lyssenko V.; Watanabe R.M.; Ingelsson E.; Florez J.C.; Dupuis J.; Barroso I.; Morris A.P.; Prokopenko I.Lagou, V.; Magi, R.; Hottenga, J. -J.; Grallert, H.; Perry, J.
