NEW MAP & G.I.S. LIBRARIAN FOR STANFORD UNIVERSITY

        Stanford University's Branner Earth Sciences
Library and Map Collections is pleased to welcome
Julie Sweetkind as its new Map & Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) Librarian.   Julie replaces Jean Kan, who
retired in December.  Julie served as a summer intern at
Branner in 1998 where she worked on map and GIS projects.
She has a BA in History and English and an MBA from the
University of Colorado, and an MLIS from San Jose State
University.  Most recently Julie was map librarian for two
California private map collections: the David Rumsey
Collection in San Francisco, and the Glen McLaughlin
Collection in Saratoga.  Both are large, significant
collections of historic maps.
        Sweetkind served as assistant editor for a recent California Map Society
book "California 49: Forth-nine Maps of California from the
Sixteenth Century to the Present".  She has also worked in
the library of Elan Pharmaceuticals in South San Francisco,
and for Information Express, the Buckinghamshire County
Council Literacy Program in England, for Bendall
Accounting in Campbell and the VITA Shakespeare Festival in Saratoga.  She
has given presentations on her cartographic projects at meetings of the
