Dear Maps-L,
David has flagged up the survey of map library usage conducted by the
LIBER Groupe des Cartothecaires Working Group for Education over the
summer of 2003. Details of the results are to be published imminently
in 'Geoscapes'. The survey was heavily based on that undertaken in
Europe in 1987/8 and reported by Jan Smits in 'LIBER Quarterly' in
1991 (as referred to by Alice).
The actual questionnaire for 2003, in 15 different languages, can be
found at:
http://www.maps.ethz.ch/gdc-education.html#questionnaire
Do not hesitate to contact me should you need further information.
With best wishes,
Nick Millea
