        The Map and Geography Round Table (MAGERT) has scheduled its annual
field trip, held at the end of the ALA Annual Conference, on Wednesday,
June 30, 1993.  It will be a tour of the John C. Stennis Space Center, the
USGS' Applications Systems Facility and ESIC, and the Naval Oceanographic
Office Technical Library and SUper Computing facility, which are located in
Bay St. Louis, Mississippi (approximately 45 miles NE of New Orleans).  The
day will conclude with a Crayfish Boil.  A detailed itinerary for the day
can be found at the end of this message.
 
        The cost of the tour is $25.00.  This includes air conditioned,
coach bus, round trip transportation from the Hotel St. Marie in New Orleans
