for a workshop you wouldn't want to miss!

CLA & SCTPG presents

Basic Map Cataloging

The primary objective of this workshop is to give the participant a basic knowledge level, and the necessary skills, to ensure creation of accurate and high-quality bibliographic records for sheet maps. At the very least, the participant will come away with a good understanding of the differences inherent between maps and other formats of material, primarily monographs, as well as the variability encountered in individual maps and map sets.

Basic skills that will be taught include:

how to decide which title to choose when more than one appears on a map
providing access to other forms of a single title
the proper techniques for measuring a map/group of maps and how to record that and other physical description information
recording scale information correctly when provided and determining a scale when it is not specifically stated
using map-specific fields correctly, and more.

The participant will receive a set of reference materials that will assist them in the process of record creation.

This workshop will not cover how to catalog:
map serials
cartographic CD-ROM products
map analytics
globes
geologic sections, and electronic datasets (GIS or online sites).

However, a brief bibliography of source material that will assist the user in cataloging the above material types is included in this packet of information.
