Subject: Cataloging fine prints


The Free Library of Philadelphia has a large (200,000+) collection
of fine prints, the John Frederick Lewis Portrait Collection, which
spans in date from ca. 1600 to the 1920s.  We are in the process of
designing a program to scan and catalog the collection.  I am writing
to ask those involved in cataloging prints to tell us how you have
tackled the task, what sort of workflow you have developed, what
sorts of access points you have provided.  Individual AACR2 records?
On OCLC or RLIN?  Using AAT terms?  Creating a digital file? Etc.
Any information would be appreciated.  Please respond to me directly
because I am not a member of IMAGELIB.  Thank you.
