Subject: RE: subject cataloging -- Maps, Tourist heading


Hi Ken,
I'm guessing this might be related to the changes by LC to create specific genre/form terms (655 fields) for Tourist maps, etc. and to simplify the form subdivision most often used for cartographic materials to Maps. There is an announcement with links to other information at: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/cartographic4.pdf

Best regards,
Jimmie

Subject: subject cataloging -- Maps, Tourist heading




Has the form subdivision for Maps, Tourist changed recently? While doing some subject authority checking on a new edition of a tourist map of Nova Scotia, I am getting some conflicting information on the subject heading and form subdivision.



Authority records appear for various places, with subdivision, Maps, Tourist. I can control the authority for Nova Scotia Maps, but not for the one I have been using. Some conflicting information shows up when searching authority records for Tourism, Maps, and for Tourist maps. Can anyone shed light on this?
