-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Reproduction vs. facsimile cataloging and then acquisitions question Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 11:41:55 -0500 From: Angie Cope <[log in to unmask]> Organization: American Geographical Society Library Here we go again. When one takes a map, scans it and then plots (prints) the map - how does one catalog that final product? In my situation, we don't own the original or the digital copy, but received the maps as print outs (full size, etc.). So, should this kind of map be catalogued as the map itself, as a facsimile, or as a reproduction? Another question, what are your thoughts on acquiring maps of this nature? For instance, an individual or company obtains copyright or takes non copyright material, scans it and then sells the digital image or the printed map. I guess my question is, are any of you actively collecting maps of this nature? What I'm referring to is different than say, Historic Urban Plans where they assume copyright for the item. What I'm asking about are really just print outs of an existing map. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for your thoughts. -- ************************************************** Angie Cope, Associate Academic Librarian American Geographical Society Library UW Milwaukee Libraries 2311 E.
