Cartographic materials are cataloged according to the latest national standards for descriptive content and punctuation, including: Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules and Cartographic Materials: a Manual of Interpretation for AACR2. To demonstrate what is involved in cataloging maps, one must understand the need for providing spatial data as the basis for geographic information retrieval. Attendees will learn: * Format differences between books and maps * Basic descriptive information * Coordinates information * Importance of 500 field notes for maps * Assigning map call numbers * Sources for consulting Trainers: Jorge Gonzalez, Jimmie Lundgren and Susan Constantineau, University of Florida Thanks!
