We are also a 1. About half of the topo maps are stored in the basement, but all are kept on-site.

Michael,
We are a 1 -- we keep all USGS topos (including previous editions) on-site in the Map Library.
I could see off-site storage at some point for part of the collection, but we're not there yet.
Best,
Ryan

Hi Michael,
We fall under the first category. We currently keep all physical USGS topo sets onsite. Tennessee maps are cataloged at the item level. We fill in gaps when possible for the 7.5’ scale topo maps. There are plans for our university to build a shared offsite storage facility in the future.

Subject: USGS Topo map survey
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
