When one is using Connexion to catalog a CD or DVD that contains GIS
data, do you start with the 'electronic resource' template or the
'cartographic materials' template?
While we're at it: we are copy-cataloging some older disks. In the 300
field we are seeing 'XX maps on 1 CD-ROM' when what the disk actually
contains is 'XX zipped up folders of shapefiles'. Should I care?
These are some pretty old records, so it's likely catalogers at the time
didn't really care to distinguish between maps and data. But today we
have form-genre headings that make a clear distinction so I am wondering
if I want to make that distinction in the 300 field.
