Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this request. Here is a
list of all the responses - only one or two off-list. Feel free to keep
conversing about the different role of a libguide in a map/geography
library...

University of Pittsburgh
Here is our topographic maps guide at Pitt: http://pitt.libguides.com/topo
And here is a more general (still "unpublished") guide to our map
collection that I'm still working on:

U of Saskatchewan

University at Buffalo Map Collection has a website with many guides.

Miami University (Oxford, Ohio)

Information Science http://libguides.lib.muohio.edu/content.php?pid=54782
University of Utah's Marriott Library:
http://campusguides.lib.utah.edu/content.php?pid=96645&search_terms=Maps
University of Regina
http://libguides.com/community.php?m=i&ref=www.libguides.com
University of Alberta
http://guides.library.ualberta.ca/maps
Brigham Young University
lib.byu.edu. Just click on "Maps & Gazetteers" on the lower right.
Once you get the page with my mug shot, you have the options of clicking
the various tabs across the top and searching for files and sites
topically or geographically. You can also click the "A to Z Resources
in Maps" tab and search alphabetically. I've been working on this guide
bit by bit every day, so its look may change slightly from one day to
the next. The tab with the most is probably Maps Online. You'll notice
that some of the lists are Utah, Utah County, BYU, and LDS Church
specific. But others are pertinent to all.

Angie, thanks for asking this question.
Early on in my library's foray into the Springshare LibGuides resource,
I decided that a guide devoted to a material format and collection was
needed. My colleagues were looking mostly at subjects related to the
academic departments here. As a map librarian I recognized a
constituency that was not limited to a single department or subject as
far as materials classification is concerned.
It is reassuring to see that others think the same way. I have not yet
had time to take a look at the links to guides that others have shared.
But I will be doing so. It would be interesting to get ideas of what
works, why things were included, whatever. Maybe even discussion of
what you like of others' guides that you might be tempted to try. I am
always "under the hood" on mine and my other guides, tinkering around,
or adding new items. One of the things I particularly like is to use a
Books from the Catalog box to highlight newly received items. That, of
course, entails regularly updating the listing, removing older materials
and adding new things of potential interest.
Again, I look forward to some discussion.

Hello,
Does anyone use Libguides to promote their collections and services
specific to their map/gis library? Will you share a link to your guide
with me?
Thanks.
Angie
