-------- Original Message -------- Subject: marcive record question Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2003 09:47:04 -0700 (PDT) From: Linda Newman <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] CC: Linda Newman <[log in to unmask]> ------------------ Folks, The issue of deleting old marcive records from the online catalog when a new edition is received has become quite a problem for us. We are a Regional Depository and nautical sheets are esp a problem given their frequency. I would very much appreciate hearing from you and how you deal with this. Do you delete each and every record of superceded items withdrawn from your collection? Ignore the marcive record even though the map is removed from the collection because... [no one has time to go in and delete these records]? Not allow those records in your opac in the first place? Second part to this question: do you add the marcive record for every sheet map (eg. 7.5' topo sheets) in your opac or set up a serial record (eg. a Wisconsin 7.5' topo) record? Your response is most appreciated and please pardon the cross posting. Linda Newman Geoscience & Map Librarian DeLaMare Library/MS 262 University of Nevada Reno, NV 89557 775/ 784-6945 ext. 230
