I followed my own advice and asked OCLC.
cs="[institutional code]" (for example, cs="CGU" or cs="UPM") gets you all the records with the institutional code in _either_ the 040a or the 040c. You can limit this by format (for example, dt="map"), date range, language, or whatever. I find that big-number answers are easier to deal with in WorldCat than in Connexion.
This is totally new to me. Thanks for asking, Angie.

Sorry, Angie, I don't know of any way to do this. (Ask OCLC? They're pretty good about responding to queries.)
But, if you ask for records with a particular library code and rank them by "accession number," you can generate a list of recently created records, which are almost all going to be original records from the library in question. (Yes, I know that's not quite what you wanted ...)

Hi Chris,
Is there a way to isolate out which ones are original records versus copy cataloging?

University of Texas = IXA (the Austin campus) only.
You can generate analogous numbers for any institution by doing a search on dt="map" and li:[CODE] in an "advanced" or "expert" search. OCLC says the correct code for the University of Texas at Arlington is IUA. A search on dt="map" and li:IUA yields 11261--but it's not July 15 any longer.

Does the figure for the University of Texas represent only UT – Austin? Or does it include figures for the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and perhaps other University of Texas System locations? The figures 2010-2013 show a bulge in numbers that correlates with the number of original cartographic records that I contributed to OCLC during an intense cartographic digitization project for which I served as cataloger.
If statistics are available separately for the University of Texas at Arlington, I’d be interested in knowing the numbers.

I started compiling statistics showing the number of "cartographic-materials"
records on OCLC by institution in 2001 and have kept generating similar statistics
every year since.
I've shared the numbers with some of you over the years, and I sent them to MAPS-L
in 2007. It seemed time to share them again. The 2015 numbers are at
http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/collections/maps/map_cataloging_stats_2005-2015.pdf
If you're interested, you might want to check the MAPS-L archives for my comments on
the statistics then, as well as other folks' observations. Briefly, these statistics are
only a measure of libraries' success in getting records to OCLC. The numbers are
heavily influenced by many factors, including, for example, how libraries treat sets.
Institutions that "analyze" sets of topos, nautical charts, and flood insurance maps
are going to be overrepresented in proportion to how much material they've actually
cataloged. Libraries that don't even analyze monographic series (like the USGS I
series) will be underrepresented. There are numerous other factors that affect these
numbers. The table probably needs dozens of footnotes explaining odd figures.
Also, please forgive my focus on big U.S. libraries. If I were to start compiling similar
figures today, I'd certainly include more institutions.
You should realize that I've been compiling these statistics for annual reports.
They're as accurate as I could make them, but of course I wouldn't have been as
inclined to gather these numbers together if they didn't make the University of
Chicago Map Collection look good. Be cynical if you want. It's very unlikely by the
way that we'll be adding anything like as many records in future years. There are
now only a few pockets of uncataloged materials in the collection.
Do feel free to ask questions or to make comments.
