| Summary: | Providing access points for building names is a tremendous challenge for library catalogers. Using Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum as an example of the complexities involved in assigning these types of headings, and reviewing previous work of library groups to develop policies, some solutions are proposed. The author's goal is to make the issues understandable to the general public and encourage discussion among art catalogers so that the problems can eventually be resolved. |
