*Description*
Maps are an integral part of many library's collections, but due to
their unique needs and issues librarians and library staff members often
fear them.  This session will address and alleviate the concerns often
associated with collecting and working with these valuable resources,
offering advice on how to arrange, house, and maintain paper maps and
providing an overview of resources for managing map collections of all
shapes and sizes.  Sponsored by ALA MAGIRT - the Map and Geospatial
Information Round Table.
