Princeton University Cataloging Documentation

Personal name in the 600 field. Often this name will be followed by the subdivision: --Exhibitions or --Catalogs. Usually this name will also appear in a 100 or 700 field and often in the title as well.
The LC call number will have two cutters with the first cutter being for the artist or architect.

Classification for individual artist or architect works

Check the artist's name in the Princeton Artists File (PAF)
If the PAF heading is not AACR2, or not labeled AACR2, send a message to an art cataloger.

Example:

If found, use that number and add a second cutter and date, following these guidelines:
Exhibitions of works by a single artist: A4 + [date]

[Check shelflist in Voyager to see if there are multiple exhibitions in one year, then add a suffix in alphabetical order to distinguish exhibitions with the same dates; e.g.
Works that are not exhibitions: following the flow chart, add a 3 digit second cutter + [date]

Flow Chart
If not found, place the book on the shelf marked "Artists Needing Class Number".
- Complete the cataloging and add a 902 field but do not check "OK to export".
- Include a bibliographic printout showing the AACR2 form of the artist's name.
A cataloger on the Western Languages Cataloging Team will formulate a class number for the artist, add that artist to the local Princeton Artists File, complete the cataloging, and mark "OK to export". Your 902 will remain on the record, but the book will not be returned to you.
