-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Map cataloging questions from beginning catalogers Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2009 13:35:29 -0400 From: Ava Iuliano <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Hello everyone, I am a rookie cataloger that is currently working on cataloging maps. I am working with another beginning cataloger and we've run across an item that is causing us both some confusion. The map is a large UNESCO map produced in a couple of different editions, even though the individual sheets form one single map (50 sheets making up one single HUGE map). The English title is 'International Geological Map of Europe and the Mediterranean Regions 1:1500000" with parallel titles in French and German. The date range is from 1964-2000. In creating a record for this item (our OCLC searches have produced only bare-bones records in German that often only describe a single sheet or Australian records for only a partial holding), how do we delineate that it is a single item in multiple editions? How would you create the record for this particular item? Thanks for any advice or input, Ava and Darla University of South Florida
