Becky,

We subscribe. I do occasionally use it for ordering and I have occasionally used it for national topographic map indexes. Admittedly, it is not heavily used, so I can see why you might consider cancelling it, especially if you are not purchasing many international maps.  ILH is not the first map dealer I go to looking for maps, but sometimes they are the only source I can locate. (No complaints with ILH. It's easier for us to order from US dealers, and I don't have to worry about whether the dollar is weak or strong against the Euro.)

I do look through the GeoKartenbrief which comes as part of the Geo Katalog 2 subscription for new publications I might not see listed elsewhere.

I would be interested in the usage level of Geo Katalog 2.  It is a service that our library subscribes to and I receive the supplements.
However I have never had need to use it or have had anyone ask about it in the six years that I have been here.  This may partly be a function of lack of purchasing power on my part but I would be interested in how often other subscribers use this source and how many libraries are subscribed to it.

Thanks,

Becky Lowery
