Please forward this to the Geography and Map Section discussion list, if
possible. I updated my membership in May when I took this new job but my
new divisions, etc. don't show on my SLA Membership Online and I have
been unable to join the DERM and MAP discussion lists. I met some of you
at the SLA Conference in June.

I have received a request to find a map and I thought you may be able to
help, if you have the time.

My boss is looking for a map of the Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh in
India. We want a map that shows the watershed of the river and also the
political districts in that watershed. Ultimately, we have some data by
district that we want to reanalyze within the watershed. Now, this
sounds like a GIS project to me, but if a printable map exists already,
we would love to have it. If it is available as GIS data that we can
work with, that would be useful (and also a nice persuasion to my boss
of the value of GIS).

Thanks. Before May, I was a science/health science librarian. Now I'm a
solo librarian at an interdisciplinary institution. Maps are new to me.
