Subject: Re: display maps in instruction rooms
------------------
I just returned from our annual NEMO meeting (held at
the Osher Map
Library, Univ. of South Maine, Portland). Their conference/instruction
room has steel whiteboards. They can "hang" maps with coated magnet
strips. They
add to this, something I've found helpful; mylar sheets to put over the
map while it is attached to the wall (if you don't have magnet option,
make a
mylar "envelope" to hold the map, which can be attached using tape, or
tacks, pins, etc. depending on your surface--put map inside the mylar
envelope and damage the mylar edges instead of the map).
I've also used something like this in the office to temporarily "hang" a
map up for viewing, especially when cataloging a map (my office has one
free wall, which is a window. I clip the mylar envelope to window frame,
or tape to glass, with map inside).
