Abstract

The presentation is about a cataloging project completed by the author in 2017. The project comprised cataloging twelve artist books for the Special Collections department at University of Houston Libraries. In the presentation, the author explained what a Cartonera book was, outlined the cataloging process and some issues popped up during the process, and talked about one particular artist book that needed additional thoughts as to whether it is still considered a book or not. Some lessons learned are covered at the end of the presentation.
