On the ExLibris listserve, I spotted an announcement of an online draft and demo examples of the Artists Books Thesaurus (produced by members of the Art Libraries Society of North America, ARLIS/NA, Special Interest Group). The idea is to have a standardized list of terms for indexing artists' books.
Here's the draft to explore: tiny URL http://tinyurl.com/abthes For Fold-out books, there are illustrated examples of French door books and gatefold books. Take a look also at concertina bindings and pop-up books. A search for origami found nothing, but it's only a draft so far! I'd bet they'd welcome examples of artists' books where origami is an important part of the inspiration/structure and suggestions for appropriate terminology: > To learn more about this project, please contact the working group > members. > Jaye Fishel: [email protected] > Esther Marie Jackson: [email protected] > Allison Jai ODell: [email protected] > Suzanne Rackover: [email protected] > Heather Slania: [email protected] Karen Karen Reeds, co-ringleader, Princeton Public Library Origami Group.
