This manual covers the cataloging of most of the printed material (books, music, graphics) in Houghton's collections. It's Its focus is special collections cataloging. It is a tool for assisting catalogers in working in the Aleph and a MARC-based environment, so an obvious exception to this is the printed ephemera cataloged into OASIS. Also covered are other formats that are usually (but not always) cataloged into HOLLIS, such as drawings and realia. Manuscript cataloging for collections and single item manuscripts is described in separate documents. Material cataloged into VIA also requires separate guidance not covered in this document.
