-------- Original Message -------- Subject: nautical chart practices Date: Fri, 08 May 2009 09:54:10 -0700 From: Jon Jablonski <[log in to unmask]> Organization: University of Oregon To: [log in to unmask] We collect current nautical charts as part of the FDLP, but have decided to go our own way without individual MARCIVE bib records. We have always stored the charts as a set, with a G32301 class number. We would like to break the collection down by region (1-9) geographically, just so we don't have 1 bib record with 5000 items attached. We're making sheet lists and index maps (http://libweb.uoregon.edu/map/naut/nautical_curr.htm), but we do want barcodes and item records for inventory control. Has anyone done anything like this? What's your method (short of individual bibs and sudoc #s) for wrangling this large set? __________________________________________ Jon R.
