Alice et. al. -

Having just attended this Fall's LIBER Map group meeting at Cambridge
University I am familiar with this questionnaire as Nick Millea (Oxford)
gave an excellent summary of their findings which I don't believe have been
posted yet.

The questionnaire may be found at:
www.maps.ethz.ch/LIBERquestionaire2003.html.

Some of the questions may be uniquely European but it has many appropriate
questions for all map collections.
