Subject: Cataloging a print reproduction of an electronic map

Hello all,

I have a cataloging question needing some general consensus:

I am cataloging a print reproduction of an electronic map.  LCRI 1.11 says
to
describe the original in your record, and then give a reproduction note in
533.  Thus the record has an 007 and 006 for the computer
file, the GMD [electronic resource] after the title, system
requirement/mode of access note(s), source of title note, etc.  And then a
533 reproduction note for the computer printout.  Indeed, this is what
the UW monographic cataloger's do for printouts of textual material from
the
Web. But a quick review
of the Map Cataloging Manual (chapter 8: facsimiles/photocopies/reprints)
seems to indicate that they
don't follow the above policy and instead do something different.  I just
wonder if I can extrapolate their
photocopy policy to a printout from an electronic map.  Any opinions??

Please reply directly to me ([log in to unmask]) and I will
summarize
for the list.

Thanks!
