Cataloging Resources
Resources for art-related bibliographic cataloging, organized by the cataloging team at Thomas J. Watson Library
Below are a number of resources we rely on for our cataloging work in Watson Library. Many of these have been created by Watson staff to meet the demands of the work that we do. They are particularly relevant for cataloging art-related bibliographic material, but many of the resources can be used to catalog a broader range of material as well.
