Our air photo collection is mostly for southern Illinois coverage 1937 -
2005, but we do have some all-state coverage years and some photos for
nearby counties in adjoining states, Our air photos have also been used
extensively over the years.
Best wishes for your own future. When will retirement be for you?
Regards,
Harry

Hi Harry,
The fact that your collection has 100,000 aerial photographs caught my
eye, because our air photo collection here is about 40,000 and it is the
most used part of our collections. Are all of yours for Illinois? Did
your library buy them or were they a gift?
Thanks for all the maps you sent us over the years.

Friends and Colleagues - - -
I am retiring as the Map Librarian at Morris Library, Southern Illinois
University at Carbondale, effective June 30^th . So this is my last week
at a post that I have very much enjoyed for 25 years. My wife, Marta
(whom some of you know), will be retiring as the Education Librarian at
Morris Library at the same time.
Please know my gratitude for the special niche of librarianship we share
and my gratitude for your professional assistance and courtesies and
your friendship over the years, I will miss seeing you at conferences
and sharing the MAPS-L interaction.
Due to severe budgetary constraints and other factors, the filling of
the vacancy created by my retirement is not authorized at this time nor
anticipated in the near future. The future is indeed unclear. Janice
Fiorino, Map Library Assistant, will continue to staff the Map Library
and can be contacted at [log in to unmask]
<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or 618-453-2771. Open hours for patron
assistance are being reduced approximately 50 percent. Beth Cox, Special
Formats Cataloger, will continue to catalog cartographic materials
part-time and may be reached at [log in to unmask]
<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. GIS assistance will be supported with a
10-hours-per-week graduate assistant.
At this point, the collection consists of approximately 255,000 maps and
100,000 aerial photographs plus a substantial collection of related
cartographic items (atlases, books, globes, journals, etc.), most of
which will remain available for circulation, including interlibrary
loan. Some collection growth will continue to be supported.
Post-retirement communication for me can be directed to my emeritus
university e-address, [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>, or to my
personal address, [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
With thanks and best wishes to each of you who have made my professional
life happier, Maps always!
