Subject: geographic code indexing

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
