Colleagues -

I am a little surprised that nobody has made any reference to C. Peter
Keller's article 'The Map Library's Future' in the recent Cartographic
Perspectives? He lays out some very interesting challenges to the future of
map collections and it is well worth the read. While I believe some of his
statements are a bit harsh/extreme (although they probably represent an
important segment of our user community) I also believe that much of what
he says reflects issues that we should be considering. So, will we need
physical map libraries in the future he asks?
