We are trying to prepare ourselves for online circulation in our Map
Collection.  The maps which are circulated the most in our collection
are Missouri 7.5 minute quadrangles.  Even though we have MARCIVE tapeloaded
records in our NOTIS online catalog, the vast majority of Missouri quads are
not in it.  The project of inputting records for them all (about 1000) seems
overwhelming.  Before we start, I thought I'd ask for advice, helpful hints,
horror stories, etc. from you folks.  Hopefully some of you have done similar
recon projects.
 
Thanks!
