------------------
The Map Library at the University of Colorado is in the midst of a large
collection shift and we're quickly discovering that many of our map drawers
are in need of repair (they stick and/or are hard to close and open). We've
called in facilities management and they've managed to make a few drawers a
bit better, but many are still in bad shape. Has anyone had experience
getting their map drawers fixed? If yes, who did you call? Has anyone
ordered new wheels for map drawers? How about ordering new drawers to fit
existing cabinets? If yes to either of these questions, who did you contact
for these services? Finally, has anyone tried good old-fashioned oiling
w/WD40? We'd of course take the maps out of the cases before trying this.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks-

Ilene
