New Cataloging Guidelines for Pictures Now Available in Online Publication The Library of Congress and the Association of College and Research Libraries have updated the cataloging guidelines for describing pictures, and they are now available in a free, online book, Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Graphics). The guidelines cover still images of all types: photographs, prints, drawings, born-digital pictures, book illustrations, posters, postcards, cartoons, comic strips, advertisements, portraits, landscape, architectural drawings, bookplates and more. Instructions for capturing core metadata elements—the titles, creators, dates, publishers, and media of pictures—are provided as well as helpful wording for explanatory notes. Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Graphics) or DCRM(G) is available online as a free PDF at rbms.info/dcrm/dcrmg and as a hypertext document on Cataloger’s Desktop, desktop.loc.gov.
