Subject: Map Copying Guidelines

Hello,

        I have been asked to develop some guidelines for map and air photo
copying for our copy center.  Below you will find the text that I have
developed thus far.  I would like to know if anyone else has similar
guidelines.  If so, am I missing anything?  Perhaps if we all put our joint
heads together, we could develop something we can all use.  Comments and
suggestions would be welcome.  Linda Zellmer ([log in to unmask])

Map Copying Guidelines

Oversized Copier

The following items may not be copied with the oversized copy machine:

-Aerial Photographs
-Encapsulated maps (i.e. maps covered in plastic)
-Maps that are too big to fit through the machine without being folded

Standard Copy Machine

-Flat maps should never be folded in order to copy them.
-Maps with folds in them should only be folded along existing fold lines.
-The copier lid should not be lowered unless the map or photograph being
copied will fit without bending or folding.
-Aerial photographs should not be copied on machines which have a paper
cupboard that is higher than the glass on the copier.

Tape should never be used on maps, atlases or any other Library materials
for any reason.
