I think the Subject fields, separated, seem almost like tags, and will work very well for the Museum's searching needs. I would like to see the option of adding addition contributors and contributor type. Also, is it possible that we may want to add record type, i.e., journal, monograph, pamphlet?

Ah yes, type! Very good.

You can make up your own, or use the Dublin Core "Type" vocab here: http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-type-vocabulary/

or AACR2's GMDs.

Or a hybrid. Main thing is to have a consistent vocab.

Nice work on the blog! Thanks for setting it up.
