CRD: A Catalogue Raisonné Database

A Catalogue Raisonné (or CR) is a comprehensive, annotated listing of all the known works of an artist either in a particular medium or their entire oeuvre; however, not all artists have catalogue raisonnés, and not all catalogue raisonnés are created equal in regards to quality of information and accuracy. As an art librarian, I was constantly fielding questions about what resources were available in the library at which I work, specifically when it came to catalogue raisonnés. Thus I set out to determine the best way to help users find and retrieve this information.

JULIANNE

COHEN

Librarian and Researcher

Hi! I'm Arielle

My aim as both a librarian and researcher is to provide easy access to information to all users, regardless of their end goals. I believe that the resource retrieval process should be seamless, so that users do not feel as though searching or browsing is a chore.

Taking an empathetic and user-centered approach to problem solving, I use traditional qualitative research techniques and usability testing to validate hypotheses and taxonomy decisions.

Key to this is the notion that the research process is iterative. As an information professional, I strive to keep the lines of communication open throughout every phase of a project, so as to avoid any researcher bias and develop a resource that truly serves the needs of the intended users.
