Megan,

Congratulations, and welcome to the most cool part of the profession!

I would urge you to look :


Larsgaard, Mary Lynette.   Map librarianship : an introduction.  3rd ed.
Englewood, Colo. : Libraries Unlimited, 1998.

also...check the "map librarians tool box" at

http://www.waml.org/maptools.html

and finally....look at one of my association's member web pages
(Cathy Moulder, McMaster University) for a very useful bibliography of
recently published works on GIS and map lirbarianship

http://www.mcmaster.ca/library/maps/gis_libr.htm

other than those...a quick look via google.com under
"map librarianship" will give a few choice hits :-)

again...welcome...enjoy the exploration :-)
