Here at Evergreen, the maps are sent to our Maps Collection.  They are
given their own
monographic bib. records and are shelved in a filing cabinet by LC call
number.
Take a look at our records in our online catalog.  Just do an author
search for
National Geographic.

There will always be some sort of amount of theft with any title in a
library...not only
theft but also damage due to normal usage.

One of my former student workers donated to our library collection, the
National Geographic maps on
CD-ROM which has from the very beginning to 2000 or 2001 I think.  We've
used it a couple of times
to help us find some information for a patorn.  Serves as a good backup.

greetings in the map libraries;

We are considering the pros and cons of separating our NG supplement maps
from the bound volumes in order to conserve them, protect them, and to
catalog them for better access. My questions are:

1. how have other collections handled this (separate or leave in issues)
2. For libraries that keep the maps with the bound volumes--how much theft
or missing maps have you discovered?

We want to catalog each map with the appropriate cross-links to the issues
and also from the magazine to the maps so that access will be maintained
for anyone needing to put the map and the articles together for study.

Thank you all.
