Aloha,

For alternative methods to housing aeronautical charts, please
check out Larry Cruse's photoessay appearing in the WAML Information
Bulletin, v.27, no.3, July 1996.  Photographs show CSU-Fresno's
TPC and ONC collection folded into nicely organized plastic boxes
and filed onto book shelves, and UH-Manoa's collection folded and
filed into map case drawers.

The photoessay also shows many map librarians showing off their
sox and stockings while WALKING on a HUGE gym-size map comprised
of TPCs!!

Aloha,
Ross
