Dear Colleague:

The Library of Congress Geography and Map Division will sponsor a
Special Project during the summer of 2003.  As in past years, the 2003
Project will be limited to cooperative participants from university and
college libraries in the United States.  You are invited to participate
in the 2003 Project according to the following procedures.

Qualified librarians, faculty members, or students will be accepted as
cooperative participants. Sponsoring institutions are responsible for
salaries, housing/subsistence costs, transportation expenses of the
participants, and for all costs incurred in shipping materials selected
by the participants.  Project members are assigned to train/work with
permanent staff members of the Geography and Map Division on various
tasks related to technical processing and bibliographic and reference
services.  Benefit to the participants and sponsoring institutions is
twofold. In addition to the experience gained by working in a large
research map library with highly qualified professionals, participants
select maps, charts, and atlases from available duplicate stocks for
transmittal to their sponsoring institutions.

The Project will begin on Monday, July 7th and conclude Friday, August
8th. For maximum benefit to you and your institution, we encourage
participation for the full 5 week period. Project members are expected
to report at 9:00 a.m., July 7th, to Room B02, James Madison Memorial
Building, Library of Congress, 1st and Independence, S.E.

If you wish to be considered for the 2003 Project, please visit the
Geography and Map Division homepage at http://www.loc.gov/rr/geogmap/ to

letter of intent to the Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division,
Washington, D.C. 20540-4650, FAX: 202-707-8531 or email ([log in to unmask])

Sincerely,
