Some of us map catalogers were
emailing on this topic, and one
of us - Carolyn Kadri - suggested
an online forum for map catalogers
would be helpful.

Since I'm the one of us who's retired,
I volunteered to set up the discussion
using the American Library Association's
ALA Connect.

You do not have to be a member of ALA
to participate in the forum.

Here's how it works:

1. Create an account:
- Go to: http://connect.ala.org
- Near top of left-hand column,
select "Create an account"

2. "MAGERT Cartographic Resources and
RDA" is the name of the "community."
http://connect.ala.org/node/111605

- The discussions currently are:
Questions and problems with creating bibliographic records for cartographic resources using RDA

Differences between using AACR2R and using RDA to create bibliographic records for cartographic resources

Examples of work- and expression-level records

Examples of manifestation-level records

Scale, projection, and coordinates


More discussion topics needed?
Please email me at [log in to unmask]
since I'm the administrator for the community.
I've not done this work on ALA Connect
before, so I'm learning as I go.

Mary
