Electronic publishing has, by and large, replaced traditional map publishing. Digital cartography and geospatial data, and cartographic electronic resources and reserves, are the new standards. Dramatic revisions in Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2, 2002 Revision), combined with digital cartographic publishing, mean that librarians need up-to-date examples, applications, and policies for these materials. Here is authoritative guidance on how to catalogue these new formats. This manual expands on and supplements interpretations in AACR2 to achieve a standardized, consistent, and precise method of description and entry for cataloguing cartographic materials. This essential tool allows cataloguers to interpret and apply new AACR2 revisions to be optimally compatible with bibliographic description between cartographic and other materials. Designed for cartographic cataloguers and map librarians, this guide stands as a supplement to be used in conjunction with the newly revised AACR2. It is a must-have for those institutions dealing with substantial cartographic holdings and national agencies charged with creating bibliographic records for cartographic materials.
