Hello,

I finished writing the cataloguing manual for the art collections (our rare books and manuscripts are catalogued in MARC format in the library wide system) at the Center a few months ago and heavily relied on CDWA/CCO.  A CCO/TMS group would be fantastic!

Best,

Emmanuelle

Hi Emily,

Your message is timely, as I've recently begun reviewing our TMS style guide documents and using CCO as a reference. For each area of cataloging I am defining crosswalks between TMS, CCO, and other schemas, and documenting where our current practice differs from CCO.  I'd love to be a part of discussion in this area, so count me in!

Best,

Brenda

Greetings,

 

I would love to hear from institutions who have customized TMS to
conform to CCO standards. There seems to be a lot of information on the
Internet about standard, but very little about the actual implementation
of the standard in a real live museum. Please contact me even if you are
only interested in this topic, maybe we can form some kind of working
group.

 

Thank you,
