"The Road Often Traveled: Training and Orientation of Map
Catalogers"

What strategies do you use for training librarians to catalog maps?
What kinds of successful training and orientation experiences have
you undergone?  What advice do you have for developing an
independently-working, productive map cataloger?  Do you have an
outline you can share?  (If you are unable to have copies of an
outline available at the meeting, please fax a copy to me at
706-542-4144 and photocopies will be made for distribution.)  Come
and discuss your experiences with your colleagues.

Also it is time to elect a new Chair for the Group.  Please think
about volunteering for this stimulating office.  The Chair will serve
for just one year, beginning after the New Orleans Conference.

The Map Cataloging Discussion Group provides a forum for both
beginning and expert map catalogers to discuss the basic issues
relating to the bibliographic control of maps and related items.
