Art Discovery Group Catalogue

Launched in May 2014, the Art Discovery Group Catalogue (ADGC) offers an art-focused research experience within the OCLC WorldCat environment. Researchers may search within this specialized subset of Worldcat data to hone in on a vast trove of art-historical literature held in an ever-increasing number of the world’s finest art libraries. These art library records are searchable alongside additional content from a multitude of sources in the large metadata pool derived from thousands of commercial and freely-accessible collections, portals and repositories provided by OCLC as the WorldCat Central Index.
Thanks to the development of the Art Discovery Group Catalogue, bibliographic records from a number of art libraries previously not in OCLC are now openly discoverable in the ADGC as well as in the general Worldcat, offering information about more of the world’s art-related publications to researchers while providing greater visibility for the art libraries worldwide. In addition, unique and important art-historical citation resources such as kubikat are now integrated within the ADGC, with others to follow, including the legacy files of the Bibliography of the History of Art (BHA).
