This website, created by Tye Pemberton and Madison Maler, is a showcase of skills learned in IST 616 - Information Resources: Organization and Access as part of our library science graduate program at Syracuse University. Creating a cataloging policy for a particular set of materials, and creating records to demonstrate the policy were the key components of this assignment. For our project, we chose to work with action figures and toys under the category of collectibles.

Toy manufacturing and collecting are big industries. For some these pieces of plastic, vinyl, and cardboard are nothing more than toys to be played with and discarded, but for many, these items act as touchstones and pieces of art that bind collectors to communities of like-minded individuals. We sought to create a cataloging policy with collectors in mind, one that would allow collectors and others to catalog their collections in a way that allows for a personalized experience while maintaining structure no matter the collection type.
