I believe I would agree with Jim. A collection of maps of countries of the world would, indeed, describe a world atlas. Just as maps can be in various physical forms, printed as well as digital, so can an atlas. A similar set, both in CD and in DVD, called collectively the Global GIS, is classed in 1021, for world atlases. The one described here is another example of this.

Hi folks,
Here's one for you expert catalogers of cartographic materials:
I suggested that she use G1021 (world atlases), because we have atlases
that have the countries arranged alphabetically. I agree that it doesn't
seem appropriate either, but there's nothing else that fits.

I am cataloging a CD-ROM of maps of all the individual countries of the
world and I cannot find an appropriate call number. G3200 does not seem
appropriate since they are not maps of the world, but just the
individual countries. Do you have any idea of a classification number or
should I just go ahead and use G3200?
Thanks for your help.
