These are described as being "single editions" whatever that means. Each is in a series with no single-ness about it! They involve the same base maps as the regular USGS 7.5-min quadrangles, which are in state series. Is each forest to be considered the coverage of a separate series? We file them with the other quadrangles for the state. If I use the records for each forest, it will not be possible to indicate that they are filed with other quadrangles for the state, rather than in a separate file for national forests. I have such a file, and it needs work, but not THIS work! This happens to come at the moment I am deleting the records we once received for each quadrangle as a separate title. I am using the state series records with attached item records for each quadrangle name and edition. I have been wondering what I should do with the records for each forest series. If any of the cataloguers has an idea, I would probably find it useful. _________________________________________ Ken Grabach <[log in to unmask]> Documents Dept.
