Dear Kathy
At the NLA the map cataloguers have two desks. One a "computer desk,
with their own terminal and space beside it, including a bookshelf to
store writing materials, reference materials, etc. Adjoining this, at
right angles is a larger, flat desk with one metal map drawer below to
house the maps they are working on. The table measures 1.1m (width) x
2.25m long. This table also has adjustable legs to accommodate the
varying heights in our cataloguers who come and go. There is also a
large, slopeing board, with adjustable positions and a piece of adhesive
sheeting glued on it to hold the map while it is being catalogued.
Yours sincerely
Maura O'Connor

To all map catalogers,
Do you have any recommendations for your "ideal" work area? We're
looking
for ways to improve our map cataloger's work area so that it is more
comfortable, efficient, etc. Currently we have a computer stand and a
desk
set up next to each other. The computer is used for cataloging as well
as
e-mail, word processing, ordering, etc. The desk, of course, provides a
large flat surface, but is also used as a desk for holding paperwork.
I'd
appreciate recommendations or examples of design and arrangement of an
integrated work area for cataloging sheet maps and computer files in an
online environment. (Someone else deals with atlases.)
Thanks,
Kathy Stroud, Map/GIS Librarian
