Hello
I was down at Tate St Ives yesterday and being an interesting kind of person (~cough~) I started looking at - and searching for - accession numbers from the gallery labels using Google.
I was wondering if:
1) your institution always / sometimes / never puts accession numbers or unique ID's on-gallery
and
2) whether your institution always / sometimes / never makes sure it has online catalogue entries for items that end up being on-gallery.
My in-depth research (of about 5 pictures) at the Tate seemed to indicate that everything I looked for was on their online catalogue with the exception of the borrowed items which [obviously] weren't.
Anyway - any thoughts / info / anecdotes / research would make most interesting reading to me..
thanks!
Mike
