As far as the cataloging of our objects, we are committed to integration with our other collections, which is why we're interested in creating MARC records, probably according to Cataloging Cultural Objects (the Curator of Art and I haven't yet discussed this
and I won't decide on my own.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">I’m hoping experienced graphic materials catalogers can help me. We’re trying to calculate cataloging rates for item-level MARC records of prints. We have good numbers from our
recent Picturing Shakespeare project, but most of that cataloging was done from digital images, which I suspect may be faster than working from the physical objects. Is it? And if so, how much faster? One and a quarter times as fast? Twice as fast?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">And completely outside my expertise and possibly of anyone reading this: how long does the item-level cataloging of realia take? I realize that the disparity of objects is much
wider than with bibliographical objects. I suppose rates from museum cataloging might be analogous, but we’re talking MARC records; think CCO. “Item-level” encompasses finding aids described to the item (such as we’ll do with our costumes), as well as separate
records (tapestries). We’ve got period furniture, props, ceramic figurines, souvenirs, &c. Might it be comparable to the average time it takes to catalog a rare book?
