CARTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS,

SOUND RECORDINGS AND

GRAPHIC MATERIALS
WHAT ARE CARTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS? 

"Cartographic materials" is defined as spatial data presented graphically in the

form of maps, atlases, globes, and three-dimensional maps and terrain models.
Also included in the collections are remote sensing imagery and aerial photographs,
cartographic microform, geographic information systems, and digital data bases. It
also includes cartographic literature in the form of books, serials, and pamphlets
relating to cartography and controlled by the division card catalog and the
Bibliography of Cartography. -Library of Congress 
 Cartographic material. Any material representing the whole or
part of the earth or any celestial body at any scale. Cartographic
materials include two- and three-dimensional maps and plans
(including maps of imaginary places); aeronautical, navigational,
and celestial charts; atlases; globes; block diagrams; sections;
aerial photographs with a cartographic purpose; bird's-eye views
(map views), etc.  -AACR2 
 e - Cartographic material 

Code e indicates that the content of the record is for non-

manuscript cartographic material or a microform of non-manuscript
cartographic material. This code is used for maps, atlases, globes,
digital maps, and other cartographic items. -MARC 21 
 Obviously, location is of prime importance on maps, and other
elements, such as topical subject, are considered as secondary
to this. -NCSU 
Subject portion 
Except for general ("political") maps, most will have a subject focus, such as geology,
 population distribution, land use, roads, or commerce. The subject subdivisions
are governed by Table G1 in the G schedule: 

.A Special category maps & atlases  .K  Forests & forestry 

.B Mathematical geography  .L  Aquatic biological resources 

Manufacturing & processing. Service

.C Physical sciences  .M
industries. 

Technology. Engineering. Public works.

.D Biogeography  .N
 

Human & cultural geography.

.E .P  Transportation & communication.
 Anthropogeography. Human ecology. 

.F Political geography  .Q Commerce & trade. Finance. 

.G Economic geography  .R  Military and naval geography. 

.H Mines & mineral resources  .S  Historical geography 

.J Agriculture 
Note that the sequence above can turn out class numbers that look odd
when compared to other LC numbers. There are often two dates, the date
of the data (esp. for historical maps), and the date of the publication. You
will often see class numbers that have the first date immediately
following the class number, with no intervening Cutter number, e.g. G3400
1999. This is fine! You will also sometimes see long strings of
class Cutters instead of the usual one or two, especially when dealing
with particular areas within a city that also have a subject focus. Thus,
G7654 .B2 E635 1992 .S8 is for a tourist map of Bangalore, India from the
Survey of India. 

You may also notice that there is a direct correlation between the number
in 052 and the numeric portion of the LC classification in 050 or 090.
There is a good reason for this--they are the same, although 050 is a
single parking spot in the shelflist, while 052 is repeatable. You will often
see an 052 for each map on a sheet. 
 Classification 

Maps and atlases are generally classified within two sequences in the G:
Geography, Maps, Anthropology, Recreation classification, namely
G1000-3122 for atlases and G3180-9980 for maps. Application of class
numbers follows the pattern: 

• Place (1st order in hierarchy). Place (2nd \[3rd, etc.\] order). \[Scale (for
maps in series)\]. \[Subject\]. Date of data. Book cutter. Date of publication.
 
 Descriptive cataloging of cartographic
materials 

Chief source of information

 

The chief source of information for cartographic materials is the map, globe,
or atlas itself. If there is a container (envelope, tube, cover, etc.) use
only if there is no suitable chief source on the map itself . If the
these 
resource includes several parts, treat all of the parts as though they were
one for purposes of ascertaining the chief source. 
 Mathematical data (034 and 255) 

Some of the more unique information provided on maps is mathematical data, in

the form of scale and coordinate information.  Scale  compares distances on the map
to those on the ground. This is usually represented as a fraction/ratio (1:24,000) or as
a linear comparison (1 in. = 4 miles). Scale is presented twice: once in 034 as
a searchable number (that which follows "1:" in the scale), and a display
statement provided in 255. Both fields are repeatable and should be present, so long as
the information has been provided or can be estimated. 
Coordinates  are used to represent the location and coverage of a map, relative to a fixed
location or marker on the surface of the Earth or other celestial body. On the Earth, this
is usually recorded based on the Equator and on the meridian which passes through the
observatory at Greenwich, England (the "Prime" meridian = 0°), though on older
maps this could be Paris, Rome, or various other points. If not stated otherwise in a note,
assume that the east-west (latitude) coordinates are based on Greenwich while north-
south (longitude) coordinates are relative to the Equator. 
Besides scale and coordinates, 255 may also show the projection
of a map in a verbal statement, e.g. "Mercator proj.", "Lambert
conformal conic proj.", etc. The following example shows most of
the elements mentioned above  

255 Scale 1:24,000 ; ǂb polyconic projection ǂc (W 78°52ʹ30ʺ--W

78°45ʹ00ʺ/N 43°00ʹ00ʺ--N 42°52ʹ30ʺ). 
 Subjects 

Subject headings for map records will usually have both a geographic heading
or subdivision and the genre heading "Maps". For general, historical, and
certain topical maps, the subject will be a 651 for the locale of the map: 

651 -0 |aWake County (N.C.)|vMaps. 

651 -0 |aMars (Planet)|vMaps 
651 -0 |aChugach National Forest (Alaska)|vMaps, Topographic. 
651 -0 |aPalestine|xHistory|y1948- |vMaps. 
651 -0 |aUnited States|xCensus, 1990|vMaps.

For topical maps, use 650, with geographic and genre subdivisions: 
650 -0 |aBiological diversity conservation|zBrazil|vMaps. 
650 -0 |aGeology|zAlaska|zChugach National Forest|zMaps. 
650 -0 |aAeronautical charts|zBering Sea. 
 Choice of access points 

RDA allows for corporate bodies to be used as primary access points (RDA
19.2.1.1.1 f). Add the appropriate relationship designator when easily
determined (the most common one for cartographic resources will be
“cartographer” though “author” might be used for an atlas, depending on how
much text there is ; the list for designators for 1XX fields is at Appendix I.2.1)

SOUND RECORDINGS 

• Sound recording, process of converting the

acoustic energy of sound into some form in
which it can be permanently stored and
reproduced at any time.

Encyclopedia.com
SOUND RECORDINGS

• Transcription of vibrations in air that are perceptible as sound

onto a storage medium, such as a phonograph disc. In sound
reproduction the process is reversed so that the variations
stored on the medium are converted back into sound waves.
The three principal media that have been developed for
sound recording and reproduction are the mechanical
(phonographic disc), magnetic (audiotape), and optical (digital
compact disc) systems. 
The PhonographDisc -A monaural phonograph record makes use of a spiral
90° V-shaped groove impressed into a plastic disc.

· The Audiotape – Audiocassette tape recording also makes use of

electromagnetic phenomena to record and reproduce sound waves.

The Compact Disc - The compact disc, or digital disc, uses digital technology to

avoid or mitigate some of the technical problems and requirements inherent in
phonograph and audiotape recording. Whereas both phonograph recordings and
audiotape have limited dynamicrange and frequency response, the compact
disc has both a greater dynamic range—ideally, over 90 decibels—and a linear
frequency response from less than 20 hertz to over 20,000 hertz—greater than
that of the human ear. 
 Cataloging Music Sound Recordings 
Physical Description Area - the purpose of this area is to give a description of the physical type and
size of the item being cataloged, the format of that item determines the information recorded. 
For non-book items, many options are possible, depending on the specific format of the item.  The
three areas that make up the physical description are extent of item, other details, and dimensions.
 For a music CD, the rules are as follows: 
Extent of item 
Give the number of discs, given as ‘1 sound disc’, ‘3 sound discs’, etc.  If the playing time can be easily
determined, it can be given in parentheses after the number of discs, ‘1 sound disc (75 min.)’ 
Other details 
Indicate if the item is digital, then indicate the number of sound channels (stereo, quad.), for example
‘1 sound disc (75 min.) : digital, stereo’ 
Dimensions 
Give the dimensions of the item in standard measures.  For music CD’s, this means the diameter of
the disc in inches.  The standard measure of a music CD is 4 ¾ in., so the information would be shown
as ‘1 sound disc (75 min.) : digital, stereo ; 4 ¾ in.’

This can easily be done by adding a brief description of the accompanying booklet
to the physical description area.  The format for the information about the booklet
is the same as the format for the physical description for any book item.
 The record would now look like: 
1 sound disc (75 min.) : digital, stereo ; 4 ¾ in. + 1 booklet (10 p. : ill. ; 12 cm.)  
While this physical description looks rather lengthy, it does an excellent job of
actually describing the item being cataloged. 
Graphic Materials
“Graphikos” means painting as well as drawing
“Graphein” means to write as well to represent by
means of lines.
The presentation of information in the form of
diagrams and illustrations instead of words or numbers.
It should be simple, bold, legible,brief and have
adequate margins.
