John:

Sounds like you have your work cut out for you. An additional topic that you may
wish to raise (in my opinion) is map collection security. Everyone working in a
a map library, be it a "historic" collection or one that serves up only the most
recent editions, should be aware of potential threats to the collections.

Greetings! I am offering a talk to library support staff at a conference
next Monday on maps in libraries. I have a number of areas to cover
(type, storage, preservation, acquisition, 'truthfulness in maps",
collection development). Wondering if anyone has any suggestions of
something obvious I have left out. The talk is only an hour and I plan
to do a hands-on show and tell. I am addressing only paper copies for
this talk. If you can think of anything that you would want your library
support staff to be aware of with maps that I don't have covered, please
let me know. Looks like today is the only day to get replies so if
something jumps out for you, send it my way. Thanks!!!
