[Katherine R. Morgan]

Hi Karen
   Thank-you for the clarification. I agree with you that the author,  
according to AACR, should be the artist. Now, should the other books  
in the series be changed for consistency? My opinion is that they  
should be changed to be consistent and not confusing for other  
catalogers in the future. Any comments?

> "If a work consists of reproductions of the works of an artist and

> as  author in the chief source of information of the item being   
> catalogued.  Make an added entry under the heading for the artist.    
> Otherwise, enter under the heading for the artist.  In case of

> Hello
>    I cataloged "Dreaming pictures: Paul Klee", b23183901, the series
> Adventures in Art. I noticed that Paul Klee is the author, yet in the
> CIP the text is by Jurgen von Schemm. In other Adventures in Art the
> author is "text by" and not the artists. An example is "Edward Hopper:
> summer at the seashore", b24142396 author is Deborah Lyons.  So, why
> is this one book in the series not consistent with the 100 author field?
