[DCRM-L] Including Cataloging History information in public interface

[Liz Adams]

Hello!

I'm currently convening a group at my institution looking at issues related to "provenance" (very broadly defined). One of the areas we're thinking about is if we should ever include the name of the cataloger and the date an item was cataloged in a field that would display publicly. Right now, we track our cataloging stats through cataloger IDs that do not display in our public interface. Manuscript processor here do typically include names and relevant processing dates in finding aids. As a side note, AMREMM also includes "Cataloging History' (7B27) that has an example including cataloger's name.

My question is: Does your institution ever include cataloging history information related to print material or unique items in a field that display publicly? And if so, would you mind sharing those cases?

Thanks so much for considering!

Best,

Liz
