Dear Colleagues,

those of you are using SIERRA for cataloguing please enlight me in the 
following:

what policy do you follow in cataloguing books which embed map/s because:

a. if I choose : template for Monography, Bibl Level:Monograph and 
Material Type: e Print Map there's a Map Icon on OPAC which is not 
really correct since we describe the book and not the map actually.

b. if I choose:template for Monography, BibLevel: Monograph and Material 
Type: Printed Text then there's a Book icon on OPAC which means that the 
cartographic information is not visible at a glance

Is there any option in the system, can we customize it so to give the 
information of a book that sustains geographical information (just like 
we do in Reference Material or Dissertations?).

In Material Type there is only e, f and t.

If we choose e there is a Map icon in OPAC, if we choose f or t again 
the Map icon will be in the OPAC.

Thank you in advance
