Hello all - (please excuse duplication)
The North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS) annual
conference comes to Madison, Wisconsin in 2011! (October 12-14, 2011)

Details:
*Special Paper Session on Cartographic Collections*
The focus of the Special Paper Session on Cartographic Collections will
be presentations that discuss issues related to organizing, managing,
preserving, and promoting cartographic collections.
Please consider sharing your experiences with us! Suggested presentation
topics include, (but are certainly not limited to):
* /new trends in map and/or digital geospatial data collection
management/
* /digital preservation, scanning, and/or other archiving projects /
* /interesting ways to create broader access to cartographic
collections /
* /collaborative projects and grants/
* /innovative ways to promote cartographic collections / outreach
activities / awareness/
* /new methods of collection organization, including special
cataloging and metadata projects
/
* /trends in acquisitions and collection development for both paper
and digital materials - how are we building our collections? what
challenges are we facing?/
*Practical Map Librarianship Day!*
In addition to planning the special paper session, we are in the process
of planning some fun activities for Practical Map Librarianship Day on
Wednesday, October 12^th .PMLD attendees will have a chance to take a
tour of the Wisconsin State Historical Society (including the archives
and map collection). There will also be a discussion of new digital
initiatives and a presentation on a new map cataloging project currently
underway there.There will also be a visit to beautiful, historic Science
Hall on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, home of the UW
Department of Geography.Here attendees will tour the Arthur H. Robinson
Map Library, the Geography Library, the History of Cartography Project,
the State Cartographer’s Office, and the Cartography Lab.
Last year’s conference in St. Petersburg, FL was a tremendous success
with extremely interesting and relevant presentations.Year after year at
NACIS I learn so much from hearing what my colleagues have to share. I
hope you consider joining us in Madison!
Please contact me with any questions regarding presentations during the
cartographic collections paper session and/or PMLD.
Thank you!
Jaime
