Dear April,
We have an atlas factise that we described as a ‘pamphlet volume’ (convolute), i.e. though they all have the same shelf-number the atlas as a whole is described
with an artificial title [Atlas containing 58 maps of parts of the earth], and a local note: All maps have been described separately and can be requested under shelfnumber …”. All
separate maps have been given a full description. See:
http://opc4.kb.nl/DB=1/SET=3/TTL=1/CMD?ACT=SRCHA&IKT=53&SRT=YOP&TRM=250+A+3 (35 map and 1 atlas description)
One can also give abbreviated titles in a (large) note, but then there is less to search in the catalogue.
Following is the description of the atlas as far as I can convert our description (with translations) into MARC21:

Onderwerp: RDA cataloguing of an atlas factice
Hello everyone
Please can anyone on the list let me know if they've had any experience of cataloguing an atlas factice (also known as a composite atlas) according to RDA rules.
These are atlases which contain an unique grouping of usually printed maps which were selected by or for a particular customer. They are generally antiquarian in nature, or at least I don't think I've seen one made with modern maps. The
atlas may or may not have a title page describing the nature of the selection or for or by whom it was made, and includes printed maps that would also have been available for purchase individually. Thus, the individual maps can each be described bibliographically,
but the combination of maps bound in the atlas is also bibliographically unique.
I've checked the RDA Toolkit, Cartographic Materials and the LC Map Cataloging Manual with no success. And trying to figure out how this sort of work fits into the WEMI model of RDA is making my head hurt!
Many thanks for any help.
Regards
April
