Susan,


I think the route you are inclined to pursue sounds like the right one based on your descriptions of things.


Paige

Hi Louise (and other Mapsters);

What is on the fiche appears to be the readme file from the website (https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1997/ofr-97-0052/<https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpubs.usgs.gov%2Fof%2F1997%2Fofr-97-0052%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cpga2%40psu.edu%7C22bb1ddd308b4fec4d5308d716b39d11%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C637002833000234752&sdata=VIOH8%2BOxjF0yPAW%2Frf2EfNl9hUVtE6qUGOLk5XqcWwk%3D&reserved=0>). We don't have a record for the online map and I don't think it's a dataset. I'm inclined at this point to catalog the fiche as a textual item and include a related 856 field to the website.

Hi Susan,
   Could you consider this fiche to be accompanying material?  How do you access the map itself? Is it a downloadable dataset?

Fellow map people:

We got I 19.76:97-52 The Digital geologic map of New Mexico in ARC/INFO format on microfiche through the Federal Depository Program. There is a record in OCLC (#50054160) for the microfiche that gives the details of a map. When I look at the fiche, there's text including the coding scheme for the polygon attributes but there's no map on the fiche itself. Would you consider this a map or just text?

We've had discussions on cataloging cartographic data sets at the past two ALAs but I don't think this meets the definition.

Thanks for any advice.
