Hi Lisa,
        Our cataloguers have been doing these maps, so that you will find
what we have done in our catalogue, see our web page:
        http://www.mun.ca/library
I think that these entries should also be on OCLC, too.  They are done
with series call numbers, in most cases, but not all, but each one has a
separate entry.
