The record for the clothing and accessory kits includes the fields of title, publisher (which they
name as themselves), and description, as well as the additional note field (Fig. 2).

Harford Public Library includes the format, title, publisher, date, description, summary
of the book, target audience, series, subject, and notes in their record. Some of the records
included fields for other author and other title (Fig. 3). This is the example I chose to most
closely follow for creating my records. The Harford library does not have any separate
accessory kits, but they include quite a few accessories in the kit including a mattress, blanket,
and pillow.

The Arlington Public Librarys record was similar to Harford, just not as detailed (Fig. 4).

I used WorldCat to get the information for the book part of my record. I chose some of
the subjects listed in the WorldCat record for the particular book as well as the author,
publisher, date, series, and book summary. I searched Library of Congress Linked Data Service
to find out how dolls were described and if there was a record for American Girl Dolls, which I
could not find any information. I also searched the Library of Congress Authorities for American
Girl and found an authorized heading for American Girl (firm); a search for dolls turned up Dolls
as an authorized heading with many narrower terms including baby dolls, hard plastic dolls, and
character dolls. I used dolls and character dolls as two of my subjects on all of my doll kit
records. I used the American Girl website (AmericanGirl.com) to get descriptions for the
accessories kits. I did not include an ISBN field on my record because there are several different
printings that all have different ISBNs and since the record pertains to a collection of items and
not just one book, I chose not to include them.
