While I am not a librarian and have no experience in cataloging, I have encountered the problem of two maps in one with Sanborn Maps. On rare occasion, they put two cities on
one sheet. The way I have chosen to handle it is by creating two entries in my database. Each entry refers to the same map sheet but has a unique record for that city.

Subject: Re: Cataloging quesiton, fixed field
It's an interesting suggestion, but I'm sort of where Paige is. I've not used 006 for cartographic resources. I've only ever used this field for electronic versions (like DVD) of cartographic resources. And yes, it would be hard to tell
one projection from another, which gets us back to the fixed field dilemma.
Fortunately, I've only had this one instance I described. I think applying the same method for the projection code as for language code in the fixed field makes the most sense. Use the code for the first named. Multiple languages can
be accounted for in the 041 and 546 fields. Multiple projections can be accounted for in the 255 fields, which is a repeatable field.
But again, Rick, you propose something that if it recurs could be considered as another option.

Rick,
I haven't used the 006 field in a long time, so I had to go look up which types of data can appear in this field for cartographic resources, and you are correct
that there is a position for projection code. Now...if one were to use your proposed technique I don't know if it would be helpful or not. In particular, how would one know that the code in the Proj: fixed field matched one of the maps and then the one in
the 006 matched the other one? Ken?

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,
Rick Grapes

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.
