[DCRM-L] Anatomy of a catalog record

[John Overholt]

The American Antiquarian Society has a new blog called Past Is Present, 
and I thought this list might find this post interesting. It breaks down 
a typical AAS record for the layperson (be sure to click on the image at 
the bottom):

I particularly sympathize with the Call Number annotation.
