----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Below you will find a series of proposals for changes in
cataloging cartographic materials at the Library of Congress
including:
1. two proposed rule interpretations;
2. a change in treatment of map series/sets;
3. a proposal for necessary changes in subject headings and
subdivisions to accommodate remote-sensing imagery.
These proposals were forwarded to SLA and will be taken to ALA
for discussion within the appropriate forums in those two
organizations. In addition they are being posted to MAPS-L in
order to allow for the largest constituency possible to have a
chance to comment on the proposals.
Please respond by JULY 31st via Internet either within MAPS-L or
directly to me.

=======================================================
I. PROPOSED RULE INTERPRETATIONS
1.4C7 Optionally, give the full address of the publisher,
distributor, etc. ...
Do not apply this option for items cataloged under Chapter
3.
IMPACT: LC map records will no longer include field 265
--------------------------------------------------------
3.3D Option addition. Statement of coordinates and equinox
Do not apply this option that is the whole of 3.3D.
IMPACT: LC records will no longer include coordinates or
an equinox statement in the 255 and 034 fields
========================================================
II. MAP SERIES/SET v. SINGLE MAP
In cases where a category of materials is being handled as single
maps, e.g., "Important farmlands," and where some individual
titles are published on multiple sheets, catalog the multi-sheet
item as a single map rather than as a map series/set, provided
that the item is composed of ten (10) sheets or less.
In general, if an item is complete in ten (10) sheets or less and
additional sheets are not anticipated, the item will be cataloged
as a single map. This is especially true if the majority of the
collection of similar type material, e.g., county maps, have been
cataloged as single maps and the reference staff would expect to
find the item in the single map collection.
