Hello All,

Angie makes a great point (below).  In my initial panic, I forgot about Christopher Thiry's 3rd edition to the Guide but I have ordered a copy.  Please let me know if you have had a significant increase in your collection size since submitting your surveys to the Guide.

For example, the LSU CIC acquired 24,474 maps from our climatology section in 2009.

Thank you again,

John

John,

After you have a chance to look at the book Dave Bertruca suggested you
look at - why don't you let me (and/or the list) know if that will suit
your purposes or if you want people to reply with more current info.
