They both would have the same call number and they both have the same number on the back of both maps. That's why I thought it might be a typo made by the U.S. Forest Servce. They have the same map number on the publication but from two different places. Response Via Email(Melissa Fairfield) - 07/03/2014 10:52 AM Hello Carlos, Thank you for brining this to our attention. The correct SuDoc for Plumas National Forest is A 13.36/2-6:RG-R 5-177. A WEBTech Note will be issued. Melissa Fairfield Supervisor, Tangible Processing Unit Customer By Web Form (Carlos A Diaz) - 06/27/2014 04:58 PM Dear askGPO, We are in the process of doing a shelf-by-shelf inventory of our government documents collection. In so doing, I found the folowing: --A 13.36/2-6:R 5-RG=177 Sierra National Forest edition: 2011 system number: 000819323 shipping list: 2011-0301-P --A 13.36/2-6:R 5-RG=177 Plumas National Forest edition: 2013 system number: 000918792 Shipping list no.: 2014-0097-P On the publication itself, the maps do have the same number: R5-RG-177 I checked WebTech Notes, no mention of this error. Then I checked the CGP. When I did a call number search, it only gave me Sierra National Forest. Then I did a keyword search for Plumas National Forest and the record has the call number as: A 13.36/2-6:RG-R 5-177. So, which one is the correct call number? I assume it is a typo made by the U.S. Forest Service.
