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
