Are there any 260/264 cheat sheets out there? Useful links to help
understand - especially for maps and all the map quirkiness - which to
use when and where?
The OCLC bib formats is helpful, but is there anything else that's been
created?

Thanks.
Angie

As promised, links to these three "new" MARC/RDA fields' tables so that
one can use them as "look up tables" to go by:
336 = http://www.loc.gov/standards/valuelist/rdacontent.html
337 = http://www.loc.gov/standards/valuelist/rdamedia.html
338 = http://www.loc.gov/standards/valuelist/rdacarrier.html
and also a document I created showing first the type of cart. material
(sheet map or globe or atlas, etc.).

Ken,
I can help. Though it would be easier if we spoke by phone. I will also
post -- tomorrow (I am replying just before 9 p.m. at home without quick
access to the LC webpage on 33X field details that are the tables of
terms and codes) -- the LC website you are referring to. My first bit of
advice to anyone new to the 33X fields (content type = 336; media type =
337; carrier type = 338) is to be calm about it, its weird and strange
at first but the more you use/apply them the clearer the intent and
meaning becomes.
I have worked up a couple of 33X "cheat sheets" over the past year or
so. I also shared some detail about these fields in the ALCTS webinar I
provided to the community in Sept. 2011
(http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/webinar/cat/092811) and
Susan Moore and I also re-shared similar information at the 2013 MAGIRT
Program we delivered in Chicago in June
http://magirt.ala.libguides.com/trainingsandpresentations scroll down to
"2013 MAGIRT Program at ALA Conference" and below it you'll find the PPT
slides), so hopefully one or both of these will help.
You seem to be getting a handle on the different meanings of the 336
terms, though I will tell you that an atlas is treated as a book, which
is why you end up with "volume" as the carrier type.
To get a better handle on the media type, think of the terms "mediated"
and "unmediated" to decide what to use -- for something to be "mediated"
it means one must have a tool outside of one's own eyes to see and/or
manipulate the cartographic item, most often that would be a computer,
but also could be a microfiche reader or possibly even a pair of 3D
glasses. Any cartographic item falling under the term "unmediated"
simply means you don't need a computer or similar to read/use it, so
yes, a sheet map or map set, a paper atlas, or a globe would be given
the term "unmediated" in 337$a.
Anyway, it would take too long to go over all the details here. I will
re-contact you tomorrow or Friday to follow up. And don't worry, some
"ready reference" documents that I've devised will be part of the
forthcoming book, just not sure if they'll be within the primary text or
as appendices, yet.
Paige

Dear cartographic cataloger colleagues,
My library is preparing to make our first steps into the minimally
charted waters of RDA catalog description. Most of this seems, while
different in style, to be rather straightforward. However, I wonder if
there might be anything prepared among cartographic catalogers using RDA
to clarify the terminology for the 33x fields.
I managed with some digging to find a Term and Code List for RDA Content
Types . In that list I find six different cartographic types. Does
anyone know of a set of definitions for these terms. Some seem
straightforward, but some see to overlap or lack a concise connotative
meaning. "Cartographic image," "Cartographic tactile image," and
"Cartographic three-dimensional form" seem to possibly have some overlap
one to another. I have assumptions about each.
"Cartographic image" might conceivably be the one to use for a
traditional printed map. "Cartographic three-dimensional form" might
conceivably be the one to use for a globe. "Cartographic tactile image"
might conceivably be a raised-relief map. And "Cartographic tactile
three-dimensional form" might conceivably be a globe with raised relief.
However, I might, conceivably be off in one or more of these
assumptions. And that there is no content term for a set of compiled
cartographic images (i.e. an atlas of maps) for which neither "Text" nor
"Cartographic image" seems precise and accurate has me stumped a bit.
In Field 337, media, I am assuming a printed map, atlas, or globe would
be "unmediated", but I can conceive of them being "other" or
"unspecified". none of them in the appropriate table are matched with
Marc 007 code "a".
Field 338 seems most straightforward of all. Printed maps would be
"sheet", printed atlases would be "volume", and globes would be "object"
unless they are "other".
If anyone has knowledge or more insight to give, perhaps additional
references or tools, I would welcome them. Others might, also.
Ken
