We collect current nautical charts as part of the FDLP, but have decided
to go our own way without individual MARCIVE bib records.  We have
always stored the charts as a set, with a G32301 class number.

We would like to break the collection down by region (1-9)
geographically, just so we don't have 1 bib record with 5000 items
attached.  We're making sheet lists and index maps
(http://libweb.uoregon.edu/map/naut/nautical_curr.htm), but we do want
barcodes and item records for inventory control.

Has anyone done anything like this?  What's your method (short of
individual bibs and sudoc #s) for wrangling this large set?
