As far as procedures in The Netherlands are concerned there is one record for those materials (independent of whether they are books, journals, cartographic materials, etc.) when they are reproduced from an original. Specifics can be mentioned either in a double SMD-field or in a local field. This question not only applies to digitally reproduced items, but also to microforms.
The problem lies with the GMD, which can only have one designation in the appropriate MARC-field. Untill this is solved I think one should give priority to designating the oldest form in existence.
When there is an analogue form and a digital-born form, then two descriptions are needed.
The question is not so much as to what librarians want, but what a user finds him/herself most comfortable with when using a library-catalogue. So solutions should be directed to what catalogue procedures are capable of and what clients like to see. Remember the one-stop-shop adagio.

Thanks, Nancy, for leaping in and
z?sending this email! I'm at a meeting
in DC that has working breakfasts, lunches
and dinners so am just fitting in little
bits and pieces of email.
Yes, the ALA MAGERT Cataloging and
Classification Committee has a task
force on this topic, so far composed
of Jorge Gonazalez (?have I mis-spelled
your last name, Jorge? 1s, 1z?)
and I've put together a start-from-here
document that is the thread from
maps-l that started with Angie's
excellent set of questions.
I can send it off to maps-l probably
early next week.
But if you're interested in working
on this topic - schedule is to have
a solid 1st draft for ALA Midwinter
in Denver. Draft will be composed of
recommendations on how to handle
as many different situations as we
can think of. Draft report will be
based on CartMtls Manual (which is
based on AACR2R), cataloging experience,
and whatever good reads we find along
the way.
Do email me if you're interested in
working on this Task Force.
