To catalogers in MAPS-L Land:
I am revising some map records after a few-month hiatus. I noticed in
OCLC's authority file today that "|v Road maps" is not listed as a valid
subdivision under the heading "Road maps." This doesn't mean that "|v
Road maps" isn't valid, but I would have preferred to see it listed as
such in the authority record. The record only lists "Roads |v Maps" as
valid and the 450 is "Road maps |w nne" with "nne" meaning "the cross
reference was formerly an AACR2 heading" (quote paraphrased from the 1994
NACO participants' manual). [Bleh. I sure wish that there were better
subdivision information in OCLC records in general, anyway!]
I looked in the Subject cataloging manual and the latest Free-floating
subdivision book and "|v Road maps" appears in both as a valid
subdivision. Also, "|v Road maps" is not listed as a changed or cancelled
free-floating subdivision in any recent CSB.
Does anybody know if the use of "|v Road maps" has been discontinued very
recently? I could add the subject: "Roads |z [Place] |v Maps" easily
enough, but I think that it doesn't provide very good access to patrons,
so I don't want to do it if I don't have to.
Thanks,
Sue Ann
