5. In April 2005 professional catalogers at Iowa State University (ISU) began participating in the cataloging of digital objects which included a collection of lantern slides and photographs. To date, their main responsibility is providing Library of Congress (LC) subject headings and AACR2 constructed access points. This information is entered into a work form which is based on Visual Resource Association (VRA) core categories and contains the description of the object.
