Hi Dick,

We have a text entry in Bibliography with text type of "Exhibition" where exhibition title, venues, and dates are entered. Not the most graceful solution, but gets the job done for now.

Hello Sari.

For the Diebenkorn catalogue we have put all the bibliographic references in the bibliography module and then distinguished among the various types by use of the data fields in the bibliography record and the cross-references.  The only limitation we have had to work around is the lack of a link between exhibitions and bibliography.  There is no way to tie an exhibition to its catalogue.  I don't fault Gallery Systems for this difficulty as it is not clear how such a link would be consistently established. So many exhibitions and catalogues have ambiguous titles.  Have any of you found a good way to accomplish this link?

Hi Sari,

At the Smithsonian American Art Museum, we use neither of the text fields in the objects module.  We prefer to use the bibliography module to create records for each published source and link all the appropriate objects or constituents to the bibliographic record.

I would like to know how other museums use the published references field vs. the bibliography field.  We have been putting bibliographic information for the publications that refer to the object in the published reference field and using the bibliography field for bibliographic sources that do not refer directly to the object, but may be helpful in general research (monographs, etc...).  I'm not sure this is the best way to go about it.

Any suggestions?
