Nov. 27th Lurline H. Colthorp Onomastics Weeding Project
Continued to research and made weeding decisions on pamphlets, serials, articles. Main issues of focus are:
Date: How far in the past does the item reference, would the data be relevant to current university research?
Subject: What departments would be interested in the item.
Subject Headings:
Geography: University collection is geared towards South West United States
Research purposes: If a department might have interest in the item is there an alternative more efficient form of access.
UTEP Library Catalog: Is the item already part of the collection or does the library have access to the item through ILL.
Summary of item:
Link: Associated links to Hathitrust, Internet Archive, Library of Congress, or University Library
2nd Set
Arizona…A Grand Name
20th Annual Western States Geographic Names Conference
September 23-27, 1997 at Little America Hotel Flagstaff, AZ
Hosted by: Arizona State Board on Geographic and Historic Names
Bob Juiyan, New Mexico Names Committee author of The Place Names of New Mexico
Date: 1997
Subject: Southwest
Geography: Yes, Arizona
Research Purposes: No
UTEP Catalog: (a) Western States Geographic Names Conference brings up article Western States Geographic Names Conference By. Gasque, Thomas J.; from 1987 Names: Journal of Onomastics, 1994-12, Vol.42 (4), p.297-299 and (b) 1994 Western States Geographic Names Conference by. Gasque, Thomas J., Names:Journal of Onomastics , 1994-12, Vol.42 (4), p.297
These include short summaries of the experience of the conference.
Connected to the serial Names: A Journal of Onomastics which is in the collection.
Item contains a schedule of events to participate in. link
Final Decision: Would Spec. Coll be interested?
Although it fits the geography, there is little value to the collection. This does remind me of some pamphlets in the cases on the 4th and 5th floors, but those deal with information about geographic areas, not a conference meeting.
Joy: Agreed to discard

Prepared in the Cartographic Department of the National Geographic Society for The National Geographic Magazine
With 8,085 Place Names
A 1949 index of place names and geographic boundaries post World War II. History of annexations by Germany, loss of territory, and new Soviet holdings.
I chose to discard the item due to: date, easier ways for patron to obtain access, Terms of Use, item is incomplete as the associated maps are not in the collection nor with the item; you can see one of the maps here at National Geographic Maps website.
Opportunities for learning
To obtain information about this item, I looked in OCLC Connexion under the terms:
Map of Europe and the Near East
National Geographic Society Index to Map of Europe and the Near East
National Geographic Society
National Geographic Magazine
Gilbert Grosvenor
Returns included OCLC 1374069691; separate item. Has list of the maps by NGS and their indexes in separate folders.
I initially thought OCLC 1365391737 was the best record to match the item. On a first search in OCLC this was the only record with a 1949 publication date, CatL was SWE but 008 Field Lang stated Eng, swe also appeared in fields 082, 336, 337, 338.
I have circled the fields that matched the item. Field 700 with Athos D. Grazzini, is the individual who wrote an introduction to the work.
In fields 336, 337, 338 Ms. Virginia, the original copy catalog librarian, stated that she had never seen this before where the rda fields end in “swe” which usually indicates that the item was in Swedish, but 008 Lang states it is in English.
Ms. Virginia determined that OCLC 35132423 was a better fit for the item. I have highlighted the fields that match the physical items in yellow, the blue highlights indicate further questions, because I argue that this item is not a book but a continuing resource as National Geographic is a magazine and the item is a serial, and the bibliographic level (BLvL) should be "s" as OCLC Bibformats states that "m" is for a nonserial item, multi-volume monography, or sound recording with multiple tracks; while "s" are resources in successive parts, monographic series, no predetermined conclusion.
Another question arose regarding 049 Local Holdings, this raised questions for me, I was confused why TXUM was showing up when OCLC stated that TXU does not have this item in their holdings. I was told by Ms. Virginia that this was assigned by OCLC because the university, TXU, was looking at/for this record not that it specifically had the item in their catalog.
