Hello Henna,
Will do, if the folks involved are comfortable with me doing so.
As I read Kathleen's response to this question a moment ago I remembered
that John Anderson at LSU published something on an inventorying
technique (or was it map counting?) quite awhile ago, likely either in
the SLA G&M Division Bulletin or the WAML IB. I don't have time to chase
this, but thought it worth mentioning.

please do share with our wonderful Maps-L since, I am sure, others will
be confronted with similar assignments and would be grateful to learn
from experienced colleagues as well.
many thanks,

Welcome to the world of map librarianship Chelsea! You came to the right
place to ask questions, learn from others, and teach us things too. Many
of us are also members of a variety of map librarianship organizations
(and many others on here are attached to similar professional orgs for
cartography, geography, GIS, etc. too) and I'd recommend looking in to
joining longstanding map librarianship organizations like the Western
Association of Map Libraries (www.waml.org) and the Map and Geospatial
Round Table (MAGIRT) of the American Library Association
(http://www.ala.org/magirt/) as a means of expanding your knowledge in
this arena.
To your specific question: we at Penn State have been conducting a
long-term inventory of our large collection for awhile. Since I am not a
member of the map library but rather a cataloger in our Cataloging and
Metadata Sercvices Department, I cannot share specifics about how our
inventory is being conducted, but I most certainly WILL pass your note
along to those "in the know" and ask that Heather or another staff
member contact you directly with helpful information. Best I can do.
Sincerely,
Paige Andrew

p.s. how cold is it in Pullman now? I'll bet everyone there is getting
ready for winter weather quick!

I am a new librarian at my university and am taking over the map
collection. From what I can tell there has not been an inventory of
maps done in quite a while nor is there a record of the last one done.
I am looking for advise, tips or tricks about completing a map
inventory. I have staff members that can assist in the task but would
like input from experienced map librarians.
Thanks,
Chelsea Leachman
