That scale, which is again a brief version (remove the last three zeroes), goes in place of the date as you would use for a single sheet map, or single map in XX sheets.
She showed it to you like this:
G5701
.C2
s1500
.U5
Only difference I would make is that the subject cutter for a geologic map is .C5. In map call numbers, date or series scale designation is always part of the subject (before $b in 050 or 090), while the author cutter, or title cutter, is in $b.

Thank you! Does the scale go before or after the author cutter number?

Hello everyone,
I am a rookie cataloger that is currently working on cataloging
maps. I
am working with another beginning cataloger and we've run across
an item
that is causing us both some confusion. The map is a large
UNESCO map
produced in a couple of different editions, even though the
individual
sheets form one single map (50 sheets making up one single HUGE
map). The
English title is 'International Geological Map of Europe and the
Mediterranean Regions 1:1500000" with parallel titles in French
and German.
The date range is from 1964-2000. In creating a record for this
item (our
OCLC searches have produced only bare-bones records in German
that often
only describe a single sheet or Australian records for only a
partial
holding), how do we delineate that it is a single item in multiple
editions?
How would you create the record for this particular item?
Welcome to the world of map cataloging!
It isn't unusual for items like this to have sheets with different
edition statements. What I usually do is add a 500 note "Sheets in
various editions" to explain the situation.
Since you do have several different editions, I'd be incline to catalog
this as a map series, rather than a single map. OCLC's Bibliographic
Format and Standards defines a map series as "a number of related but
physically separate and bibliographically distinct cartographic units
intended by the producers or issuing bodies to form a single group."
Since the sheets can be cataloged separately, I think what you have
matches the definition. If you do decide to catalog this as a map
series, the CrTp in the fixed field needs to be a "b". Other than that
and putting the scale in as part of the call number, you would catalog
it much as you would a single map.
Feel free to contact me if you have further questions.
