Something was just brought to my attention that has me scratching my head — and wondering whether any of you out there have come across anything comparable.
The journal Museum anthropology has recently mounted a complementary blog . As you’ll see if you log in (since it’s part of the banner),
This Weblog is an Online Supplement to Museum Anthropology, The Journal of the Council for Museum Anthropology. Museum Anthropology is published twice a year by the Council for Museum Anthropology, a section of the American Anthropological Association, in partnership with the University of California Press. Museum Anthropology publishes articles, commentary, review articles, exhibition and book reviews, and research notes relevant to museum anthropology and the study of material culture.
As advances go it’s pretty intriguing, and may harbinger a larger migration from a certain genre of printed journal to an electronic resource we haven’t considered in our cataloging of serial titles. But what exactly can we do about this from a cataloging standpoint? How does this match with existing MARC field guidelines?
And would somebody else please post here. You’re going to make me self-conscious one day.
