Practices and standards vary between institutions, between types of materials, and between the applications and formats in which the cataloged information will be presented. A map may be cataloged by a different set of criteria than a photograph, which may be cataloged differently than an architectural drawing. Additionally, users from a wide variety of knowledge bases may seek visual materials for a wider variety of purposes than textual materials.<\/p>\n<p>This project presents an overview of current and long-established cataloging techniques for visual materials, outlining various practices for description and examining developing standards. Drawing from real-world implementations, the project explores practices used in specific graphic materials collections as well as some stumbling blocks presented by the complicated process of cataloging and accessing visual materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cataloging images and graphical materials is an inherently complex and potentially problematic endeavor.
