Description
Description
The Photograph Librarian will consult best practices and standards when describing photographic material in Alma, ArchivesSpace, and JSTOR Forum. Note that JSTOR Forum will be used in addition to Alma and ArchivesSpace. This will allow us to utilize the strengths of all our cataloging systems and casts a wider net for discovery. While this might appear to duplicate effort on our part, this will reduce the burden on our users to search multiple discovery systems for our photographic material. Consistent description across our systems will be developed using DACS and DCRM(G) to aid in repurposing description across Alma, ArchivesSpace, and JSTOR Forum. This decision was made following a discussion between the Photograph Librarian, Associate Librarian of Houghton Library for Technical Services, Head of Manuscript Section, Head Rare Book Section, and the Digital Projects Manager.

Digital objects in the DRS will be linked to directly in ArchivesSpace, Alma, and JSTOR Forum. Past practice has been inconsistent, but we will no longer be linking to HOLLIS Images in Alma or ArchivesSpace. This decision was made to provide a consistent experience for our users and to lessen our reliance on a separate discovery system.
