The University of New Mexico is currently retaining all editions of New Mexico, all scales, and the latest edition of all 50 states, all scales. All the maps are on-site in the map library.

UCSB is now a 2.
We are retaining all editions, all scales of California, with a buffer around our border of 7.5' maps.  Maps have been in offsite storage for 3 years for a construction project.  We have yet to begin construction of our new space.  Both of our offsite spaces are in jeopardy and both of them are full-even after disposing of all non-California states.

We also have a copy of the geoPDF's and the TIFFs (if I remember correctly) from the USGS. Like the paper maps, there is a lot of friction to accessing them (no easy-to-use item-level metadata and if someone wanted to access them, I would need to go find them).

I have retained all editions of 15' and smaller scale quads that were here when I got here 6 years ago.

Around the UC, we would LOVE to create a shared paper copy of the California 5.7' quadrangles, but alas we have not been able to push that project forward.

Greetings,

I have seen a lot of offers of USGS topo sets on Maps-L for several years.  I was wondering if you would answer this quick question.

My library is
1)       Keeping all our print USGS topo maps.  (perhaps storing all or some off-site)
2)      Keeping only the print maps for the states (regions) that mainly interest my library's community.
3)      Withdrawing our print USGS topo map collection.


You can reply directly to me or respond to the list.
I will post the results.

Thanks.

Michael
