Library Cataloging
A while back I had the pleasure of doing a presentation on map cataloging to the advanced cataloging class at the University of Texas. Here is the bibliography I put together for that talk.
Andrew, Paige G. and Mary Lynette Larsgaard, editors. Maps and Related Cartographic Materials: Cataloging, Classification, and Bibliographic Control. New York: Haworth Information Press, 1999.
A good introduction for each specific cartographic type, maps, globes, cross-sections, etc.
Anglo-American Cataloguing Committee for Cartographic Materials. Cartographic Materials: a Manual of Interpretation for AACR2. Chicago, Ill.: American Library Association, 1982.
A new edition is due soon.
