----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hi Lisa, Our cataloguers have been doing these maps, so that you will find what we have done in our catalogue, see our web page: http://www.mun.ca/library I think that these entries should also be on OCLC, too. They are done with series call numbers, in most cases, but not all, but each one has a separate entry.
