Abstract

Patrons of map collections often have specific, geographically-based, requests for maps and the information they provide. Map librarians can often meet these needs through personal knowledge of the scope of their collections. For larger collections, this method is unsustainable. This article, therefore, seeks to begin a discussion on how coding could be used to expand the ability of our patrons’ online information seeking methods to meet their information needs.

MARC21结构中地理相关信息的固定字段编码数据:关于编码数据元素可能扩展以改进机器操作和用户发现的讨论

地图收藏的用户通常对地图及其提供的信息有特定的、基于地理位置的要求。地图馆员通常可以通过个人对馆藏范围的了解来满足这些需求。对于较大的集合，这种方法是不可持续的。因此，本文试图开始讨论如何使用编码来扩展我们的用户在线信息搜索方法的能力，以满足他们的信息需求。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is a multidisciplinary publication that covers international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and geospatial information. Papers submitted undergo a rigorous peer-review process by professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography, cartographic materials, and the mapping and spatial sciences. The journal accepts original theory-based, case study, and practical papers that substantially advance an understanding of the mapping sciences in all of its forms to support users of map and geospatial collections, archives, and similar institutions.
