RE MAPS-L: Response Summary: Cataloging a print reproduction of an
electronic map
DA Mon, 24 Oct 2005
FR Angie
TO Maps-L
How are other libraries handling scanned or plotted maps? So, for
example, you have a map that is badly damaged. You carefully scan it,
retain the digital image file and plot out a copy for daily use. Now you
have three things: 1)the original, 2) the plot of the original and 3)
the tif or jpg of the original. How are you handling this in your
catalogs/MARC records?
Thanks.
