The GPO contact center database has the following information about claiming
USGS maps:

Use the USGS shipping list to claim any missing USGS maps.  Circle any
entries on the list that your library should have received. Make sure your

I recall seeing something on Maps-L about a month ago concerning problems
claiming maps from USGS and not being able to reach Dave Szarsi at USGS.  I
don't recall, however, seeing any response.  Does anyone have an alternative
contact at USGS for inquiries about depository shipments?  Has anyone
received any maps that they have claimed?

I discovered a few weeks ago when I returned from vacation that we had
received maps on shipping list 2005-06-TQ.  When I went to the web site to
get the shipping list I discovered that we had missed receiving shipments
2005-05-TQ and 2005-07-TQ.  At closer inspection I discovered that 05 and 07
seem to be duplicate shipments.  Has anyone received both
05 and 07?

I just wanted to confirm with Dave that these are duplicate shipments, and
if so, that we only need to claim one set.  I claimed a single map back in
June and never received a response, so now I'm wondering if they are even
responding to claims.

Dave was real responsive when I talked to him the last time.  I'm surprised
he's not answering the phone.

Does anyone have insight as to what's going?
