Cataloguers send records to Matt (just send file, do not go through batch processor), and return books to MMOA using FedEx. The MMA mail services department always encloses a FedEx Ground return label in the shipment of books to be cataloged.

Always enter exhibition catalogues under artist.

Assign LCSH, but not class numbers. For most items, the artist’s name and subdivision $vExhibitions or $vCatalogs should be adequate. Other 650s only needed for subjects like Moses in art, or flowers in art, something where we think the researcher would be done a disservice if we didn't add it. Also groups of artists in one genre or location.

Apply barcode, and enter number in 090$e and 945$i, $xSpecial Libraries Cataloguing. Use repeating 945 for multiple-volume work:
945 \\|i30620009802306 |vv.1 |nGift |xSpecial Libraries Cataloguing
945 \\|i30620009802314 |vv.2 |nGift |xSpecial Libraries Cataloguing

In the rare case of finding a record for a book already in the MMOA OPAC, return the book without cataloging, as the Metropolitan does not keep multiple copies of the same catalog. Similarly, return any book that has already been cataloged as a PDF. The Met sometimes sends journal issues or annual reports for cataloging as monographs because they are single-topic special issues; send back any journal issue/annual report that isn't a really a special issue.

Barcoding is on the upper left hand corner of the cover, about .25" from the edges. Avoid covering the crease of the spine. There should be no worry of obscuring words that could be covered by the barcode as long as that information is duplicated somewhere else in the publication.

MMOA does not keep dust jackets (though they will be sent in case the cataloger would need them to aid in cataloging).

If a catalogue has been signed by the artist, include a 500 note "Watson Library copy: Signed by artist."

These catalogues are mainly gifts and many will have gift slips with information to add to the bibliographic record as a 904. It will look like this:
904 \\|aWatson Library copy: Gift of Susan Eley Fine Art.
