Illustrated Books and Book Illustrations at the Amon Carter Museum Library.

The article considers the methods to improve access to illustrated books and book illustration collections at the Amon Carter Museum Library in Fort Worth, Texas. The illustrator and the content of the book are considered in the selection of items for the collection of illustrated books. Cataloging on Research Libraries Information Network fosters the accessibility of the collection to a wider audience. The invisible backlog of illustrations in books can be attributed to the cost of cataloging.
