The only catalog I know of that allows searching of MARC 052 is RLIN.
They have had the capability for many years. I do not know how it is
indexed.

Hello, colleagues.
I have a question for a group of you among the map catalogers who use
the LC Classification schedule G for maps and atlases. Specifically,
anyone whose catalog has an index for the MARC 052, Geographic
Classification.
I would welcome any information on how this index functions, what type
of index it is. I can describe to my colleagues what this number
represents, and how it might be derived. I can convey a sense of its
potential value for a searchable index of the catalog, as it can be more
precise and concise to convey a geographical area covered by a map, and
can distinguish between a general and a thematic map of the same major
area.
But I am at a loss to give any of the technical information about how
this would actually be indexed.
Ken
