If I can follow up on Jon's question, we are interested in knowing about organizational relationships between map collections in gov docs, and those in archives and special collections. While we think these materials need to be intellectually separate, in order to respect the provenance of archival collections and reflect different cataloging and descriptive practices, and that they may have different security concerns, we are considering if we should store them together physically and make them available at a single service point. I would like to hear about anyone's experiences in this regard.

Thank you!

How many of you have responsibility for both at your institutions?

How many of you are in the same unit organizationally as Gov Docs?
