Ken --

It has to do with LC's Sept. 1 implementation of a new subject structure
for cartographic materials records, incorporating the use of form/genre
terms in 655 fields, with simplified 651 subdivisions $vMaps.  See
http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/cartographic4.pdf.  There was a reminder
about this on Maps-L a while back, but I have to admit that your message
was what really reminded me.  (Thank you!)  So for your map, for example, I
believe you would use

651  0 Nova Scotia $v Maps..

and

655  0 Tourist maps.

About the conflicting information you are getting, perhaps that is because
it will take OCLC and local systems a while to completely implement this
change and get all the established headings in harmony with it.

Subject: subject cataloging -- Maps, Tourist heading




Has the form subdivision for Maps, Tourist changed recently? While doing
some subject authority checking on a new edition of a tourist map of Nova
Scotia, I am getting some conflicting information on the subject heading
and form subdivision.



Authority records appear for various places, with subdivision, Maps,
Tourist. I can control the authority for Nova Scotia Maps, but not for the
one I have been using. Some conflicting information shows up when searching
authority records for Tourism, Maps, and for Tourist maps. Can anyone shed
light on this?
