Subject: Topographic maps
 
I am hoping for some feedback concerning cataloging topographic maps.  As a
new Map Librarian, I am wanting to
learn how other public libraries provide access to their state topographic
map collection.  Currently, our access
consists of the book index and flat map index that is posted on the map
case.  For those of you who catalog these maps do you use Library of
Congress or Dewey?  Do you catalog each map or group them together?  Did
you outsource the project or was it down in-house?  Also, what are your
means of keeping an organized, up-to-date inventory?
 
You can respond to me directly.
 
 
Thank you,
