Cataloguing electronic cartographic materials: Standard cataloguing

The author describes the cataloguing of electronic cartographic materials according to the international standards published in the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd revised edition, and the MARC21 format. Guidance on the special interpretation of fields found in records for all cartographic materials, as well as instructions for completing those fields used specifically for electronic formats are given. The different MARC21 fields are itemized and an example of a complete catalogue record for an electronic resource are provided.
