----------------------------Original message---------------------------- First of all, thanks for the comments that I received so far. Just a brief note to add to the Marcive & maps matter. Yesterday, I went to the main library to copy Appendix B-Maps available for selection from the Depository Library Manual. I also decided to examine every item related to maps that I could find (i.e. looked at every page that is cited under the Map headings in the index). Lo and behold, guess what I found in the Bibliographic Control section? On page 93 of the Federal Depository Library Manual, I found: "3. CLASSIFICATION IF THE LIBRARY HAS A RETROSPECTIVE MAP COLLECTION OF ANY SIZE, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE MAP CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM ALREADY IN USE FOR THE ENTIRE MAP COLLECTION BE USED FOR DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS. THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS IS THAT ALL THE LIBRARY'S MAPS WILL BE IN ONE LOGICAL SEQUENCE." The section continues to discuss the G-schedule. However, I think that this answers my question. Now all I have to do is figure out how we will go about making the changes to the Marcive record (if we use it). Those of you who may be at odds with Marcive load and classification may wish to examine the manual further. Linda Zellmer
