This is a request for information from J. Kohut at Portland State
University who is not on the list, please reply to him
([log in to unmask]).
The catalogers at PSU are discussing plans to recon the map collection
using Marchive records with SuDoc classifications; currently the topo
maps are arranged alphabetically by state and quad name and the rest
of the collection is organized geographically (although I am not sure
if it is using LC). I get the impression that the catalogers are being
quite insistent about this and Mr. Kohut would appreciate information
which he can bring to the discussions which would help him counteract
their intentions. Of course, if anyone feels that SuDoc organization
would be an improvement he would like to hear that also.
Thank you.
