About community lists
To support best practices in cataloging and improve the interoperability of the data across platforms, JSTOR Digital Stewardship Services Tiers 2-3 include controlled lists. These lists are integrated in the name record form and are available to be linked to any other field in your project.
Terms can be added to these lists to be managed and used locally. The terms included in these lists were compiled from VRA Core Type list, CONA’s editorial documents, ISO standards, and Artstor’s standards. Local terms can be added to these lists while cataloging. They can also be added (individually or in bulk) in the for users with permission. See Managing lists [Tiers 2-3].
All community lists begin with “Shared Shelf” with the following two exceptions: “Artstor Classification” and “Artstor Country”. These lists function as a part of JSTOR's browsing structure. In order to use the faceted search functionality on JSTOR, you should include these values with all records that are published to institutional or public collections. See Adding Browse Categories [Tiers 2-3].
Name record lists
Certain lists are linked to fields in the name record form, which provides users the opportunity to create a name record with data that is comparable to a ULAN record. The lists for roles, events, and other important elements necessary to create a comprehensive name record are available.
