(All professions seem to use acronyms but librarians are in a real HAG group
as they import acronyms from many other professions.  If you do not know the
acronym used please ask.   HAG = Heavy Acronym Gobblers
PSU = Piddling State University. or is that Post Scores Unceasingly ?, oh well
ask Paige.---------------------Johnnie 8#)

Okay folks, before this gets any more interesting in context:
 
GODORT is the Government and Documents Round Table of the American Libraries
Association
 
CUAC is the Cartographic Users Advisory Council, made of representatives
from all of the major U.S. library map organizations, e.g. ALA (see above),
the Special Libraries Association (SLA), the Western Map Libraries
Association (WAML) and so forth
 
DMA indeed is the U.S. Defense Mapping Agency
 
 
I don't remember which other acronyms came out of the original question, but
post any others and somebody on this list is bound to know what they stand for.

A little pop quiz: what does AACCCM stand for?
