Subject: Cataloging: 043 Geo codes?
[this message is being cross-posted on AUTOCAT]
Am I correct in understanding from recent discussion that the 043
Geographic Area Code is normally completed only when geographical terms
occur in a 650 topical heading, and that an 043 is never used to explicate
651s? Is it anyway redundant if the 052 is completed, as when cataloging
in the Map format? Can anyone confirm that even RLIN members do not
typically complete the 043 when cataloging maps?
