This project was supported by the Library and Information Science Research Grant Program (LISRGP) of OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. Jean Druesedow, Anne Bissonnette, and Lou Cinda Holt of the KSU Fashion Museum offered many helpful suggestions and provided access to slides and documents. A data dictionary designed by a former student, Rebecca Albrecht, who is now a librarian at Pace University, was an invaluable resource of this project. Long Xiao of Peking University, a Senior Fulbright Visiting Scholar at Kent State University during 1997-1998 academic year, made tremendous contributions in cataloging and format mapping processes. The author also gratefully acknowledges everyone who commented or helped on the earlier draft: Elizabeth Erba, Craig Clark, Eliza Sproat, Ming Lu, Jian Qin, and Foster Zhang. Drs. Linda Hill, Richard Rubin, and referees' comments and criticism on earlier drafts were extremely helpful.
