MAP CATALOGING: THE BASICS

Lost when it comes to cataloging maps? This introductory workshop will
help get you started in cataloging maps and can serve as a starting
point
for cataloging other cartographic materials. Take your basic knowledge
of
cataloging and learn where maps and other cartographic materials differ.

The skills to be taught include title selection, how to measure a map
correctly, scale calculation, how to record other mathematical data
correctly and the notes required specifically for cartographic
materials.

Emphasis will be on sheet maps with some discussion of atlases.

Susan Moore, catalog librarian/bibliographer at the University of
Northern
Iowa, is BCR's guest instructor for this special session. For more
