Hi:

This is a reminder that if you are involved in any map scanning projects
and would like to share information about it with others, you can input
your project at the ALA MAGERT Map Scanning Registry.  See the
information below.

Also if you've already input a project and need to update it, just let
me know what updates you'd like to make.

Thanks!

Chris Kollen
