    Training for map cataloging seems to be a reoccurring issue for map
librarians.  After having read Joel Kovarsky's article on distance
learning and the history of cartography
(http://purl.oclc.org/coordinates/b7.htm), it occurs to me that map
cataloging might be an excellent subject for teaching via online
courses.  This might be something worth thinking about by potential
teachers and committees involved with education in organizations
concerned with map librarianship.
