Introduction

The following guideline is mainly to be use for the copy cataloging of cartographic materials. Guidelines for any cataloging process, other than copy cataloging, like original cataloging by deriving from an existing bib record or using a blank work-form, can be found in the reference materials listed below.  This also applies to any in-depth cataloging questions.  For issues regarding local editing and processing practices in general, refer to MIT Libraries’ Monograph Editing Guideline. Reference materials for editing:
