ART 600
1. U.S. Library of Congress. National union catalog, pre-1956
imprints (1981) 754v.
Z881 .U49 A19 Green Stacks
Contains records for books published before
1956 and held by the Library of Congress and hundreds of U.S.
research libraries. Great source for citations on older materials.
Has only main entries; no added entries or subjects. However,
has many citations for artist monographs where the artist is considered
the "author, and lots of museum publications where the museum
is made the main entry. Has symbols indicating holding libraries.
2. British Library. General catalogue
of printed books to 1975 (BLC) (1987) 360v.
Z921 .B87 1979 Green Stacks
Not a union catalog, but the most comprehensive
collection of British publications because of the copyright depository
law. Principally main entry, with some sporadic subject access.
CD-ROM available.
3. Paris. Bibliothèque Nationale.
Catalogue général des livres imprimés:
auteurs (1900-81) 232v.
Z927 .P2 Green Stacks
Volumes early in the alphabetic sequence
are extremely out of date. Includes personal authors only, not
main entries, so artists only included if they really wrote something.
4. California. University. Berkeley. Author/title
catalog (1963) 115v.
Z881 .B4 Stanford Auxiliary Library 3 (SAL3)
Includes only main entries and titles; no added entries or
subject access.
