----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I am the MAGERT Cataloging and Classification Committee liaison to MARBI. At the Saturday morning meeting, we will be discussing the proposal on the encoding of atlases in USMARC bibliographic format. The proposal suggests expanding the 007 and 008 field for cartographic materials to accommodate atlases. This will allow atlases to be cataloged in the maps format. I would like some input on this issue. I searched the archives for the response when this issue was first posted, but everyone must have sent their thoughts to LC. Please respond to me and not the list. Thank you. Susan Moore University of Arizona Tucson, AZ 87521 Internet: [log in to unmask] Bitnet: [log in to unmask]
