Tools for preparing an online catalogue of cartoon drawings

This paper describes some tools that were written to help with the conversion of the card catalogue of a collection of cartoon drawings into an online catalogue. The tools described are an input program and a pair of special purpose editors that are used for checking and correcting the newly input catalogue records. The first of the editors is screen based but the second editor runs on a Sun workstation and has a user interface that uses the workstation's mouse and graphics. Also described is a graphical authority file editor that is integrated with the workstation editor.
