Hi Alissa,
The Map and Geospatial Information Round Table had a joint program with
the ACRL Rare Books and Manuscripts Section back in 2010. The title was
"To catch a thief: cataloging and the security of special collections"
and the audio can be found at
http://www.rbms.info/conferences/conf-docs/2010/index.shtml
One of the things I took away from that session was to catalog each
state separately and at as great a detail level as you can so that if
the worst happens and someone steals it, you have a better chance of
recovering your property.
As to using the 500/740 or the 773 field for connecting atlas pages to
their atlas, I think that's going to depend somewhat on how your system
is set up. My local implementation of our ILS doesn't index the 773
field so I'd go with 500/740. If your system indexes the 773, you might
want to save yourself some typing.

Hello all,
I am a new map cataloging assistant at Branner Library and am hoping
to draw
on your collective wisdom. We are currently cataloging a collection
of early
maps (mostly 17-18th century) many of which have come from atlases.
Additionally, we are dealing with multiple states for many of them.
So, I am
curious how you all are handling each of these situations.
For the first issue we are currently including a 500 note and then
a 740
entry. What I am wondering is, 1. is this the recommended method or
is a 773
preferred? and 2. does this method change at all if a copy of the
atlas is
owned?
ie
100 1 : Doncker, Hendrik I., 1626-1699.
245 10 : Pas-caart van Zuyd-Zee, tusschen California en ilhas de
Ladrones /
... Hendrick Doncker Boekverkooper en Graadboogh maker inde
Nieubrughsteegh in’t Stuurmans Gereetshap.
500 : Issued in the author’s La Atlas del mundo o el mundo aguado.
[1669].
740 : La Atlas del mundo o el mundo aguado. [1669].
My second question is regarding various map states. Our thinking is to
include all the states on one record and to use a 505 content note.
Here is
an example of what we are dealing with...

Any thoughts on these issues would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance and have a great holiday season,
