hi, David:-)

the map cataloger here just completed
about 30 california soil surveys
around 6 months ago. what we did
was go with existing copy cataloging
on oclc - and since we had the texts
for all of them, we searched under
text title and found them that way.
the cataloger then made 740s for
each of the maps that had a title
different from title of text.

happy holidays:-)
