At the University of Florida we followed LC practise from the beginning in our use of NOTIS on our OPAC. We have had no difficulties what so ever in displaying the information as a map. The only problem has been the minor one of modifying shared records to eliminate the GMD. This number was small compared to the many records that did not have map in the GMD.
