Map Cataloging: The Basics
http://www.bcr.org/training/workshops/catmaps.html


Description:
Lost when it comes to cataloging maps? This introductory workshop will
help get you started in cataloging maps and can serve as a starting
point for cataloging other cartographic materials. Take your basic
knowledge of cataloging and learn where maps and other cartographic
materials differ. Chapter 3, Cartographic Materials, of the
Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition (AACR2), as well as
current cataloging practices and standards, are emphasized.

The skills to be taught include title selection, how to measure a map
correctly, scale calculation, how to record other mathematical data
correctly and the notes required specifically for cartographic
materials.

Emphasis will be on sheet maps with some discussion of atlases.
