We discussed at our last group meeting the possibilities of additional fields for publication data, contents, exhibition information, and other important data not able to fit into the current database. We agreed that though optimally, the KE EMu network would allow for greater detail, the cost of additional fields and the programming difficulties for mapping the data proved the Notes Field a better location for extra cataloging info.
The following entry from the database shows the Notes field in use:
On a related "note," Marc and I have been invited to meet next week to propose revisions to the Bibliography module of EMu and give input on our cataloging project and the limitations of the current database system. Exciting!
