Paige and everyone else,

I’ve been away for Christmas and so this question may have been answered already.  That said, could the addition of a 2nd 006 field which will include the projection code of the 2nd map, potentially solve this problem, or am I totally off base here?  Granted the 2nd 006 won’t match the fixed fields, but some future computer system may be able to take advantage of the added coding, much like people now take advantage of extra 255 fields.  Are there issues with inserting two 006’s that I’m not seeing?

Thanks,

This sounds like a new situation I've never run into myself Ken. I don't think you have any choice but to follow your own suggestion because the Proj: fixed field only allows for one code. Naturally, make sure that the name of the projection appears in 255$b for each map, so at least our patrons will be able to know what was used when viewing a record. I think your suggestion works the best -- code for the first named map in the title proper.

Interesting situation has come up, that I have never dealt with in several years of cataloging maps.  Two maps on one sheet, both sides, with each having a different projection.  Each is titled separately, so would the Fixed Field be coded for the first named title?  And not concern myself in the Fixed Field for the other code?

The map in question is the new ITMB map of Ethiopia & Eritrea, both previously published separately.  Ethiopia has Universal Transverse Mercator projection; Eritrea has Lambert Con formal Conic projection.

I've encountered many with separate scale and coordinate statements in 255 fields, reflected in separate 034 fields.  But different projection statements is new for me.

My inclination is to code for the Ethiopia (first named) map in the Fixed Field.  Any other insights are welcome.
