That is a very wide net you are casting. As a basic start, and given the
online environment, I would suggest looking at the following:

   http://www.waml.org/ (Western Assoc. Map Libraries)

   http://www.maps.ethz.ch/mapcuratorship/gdc_liber/gdc-education4
   (tutorials and courses for map curators)

   http://www.maphistory.info/topics.html#libs (links to areas
   pertaining to map librarianship and curatorship)

   http://doi.contentdirections.com/mr/greenwood.jsp?doi=10.1336/1563084740
   (_Map Librarianship: An Introduction_, 3d ed.
   by Mary Lynette Larsgaard)

   http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/units/cts/olac/reviews/andrews.html
   (a review of
   _Maps and Related Cartographic Materials: Cataloging,
   Classification, and Bibliographic Control _
   edited by Paige G. Andrews and Mary Lynette Larsgaard)

I am sure others have their favorites. I would also call attention to
the just completed first session of the London Rare Book School's "A
History of Maps & Map Making":
