------------------

Our library is undergoing a reorganization of services that involves all
staff and faculty moving to a central location rather than providing
specialist help on individual floors.

This change is to include moving staff, faculty, and student assistants
from the Documents and Maps Division on L.1 up to L.3.  We are a Regional
Depository with a large map collection (over 1/4 million items, with about
10-15% of those being locked).

I am wondering how other map collections are staffed.  Are faculty or
staff located with the map collection to serve and maintain it?  Please
explain why or why not.

I will really appreciate your response.
