University of Iowa provides online access to maps for all 50 states for
UI-affiliated patrons. Non-UI people can come into the libraries and
use the product. In order to help fund this, we went outside the
library and got supplementary funds from other interested groups on campus.
NOTE: The State Library of Iowa in Des Moines provides online access to
maps/ for Iowa only/ to anyone with a State Library of Iowa library
card, i.e., Iowa residents.

Dear Maps-L:
Does anyone know of a library anywhere that subscribes to all of the
"Digital Sanborn Maps" collection from ProQuest?
We just get North Carolina, and I suspect that most places get only
their own state and maybe some adjacent states, which was generally the
collection policy when these were purchased on film.
Also, if there is a library with complete access, does the licensing
policy of ProQuest (and/or the policy of the library) allow any
unaffiliated person from off the street (e.g,. an out-of-town visitor)
to visit the library and use this collection.
Finally, does anyone know of a library that has the compete set of
film? I believe LC does (in addition to the original paper copies), but
curious if there are other places.
thanks,
Mark
