Hello Henna, You have a big job ahead of you, but a fun one too, if I
can be so bold. We too at UBC in Vancouver are in the process of trying
to establish a workable solution for a full inventory, especially for
maps in way way offsite strorage in preparation for High Density
Storage. We are not there yet, but soon, I hope.
The paper by John Anderson: that Paige mentioned is, I believe:
Anderson, John M. 2000. "Estimating the Size of a Large Map Collection."
/Cartographic Perspectives/ 37: 82-88.
cheers,
Rudi Traichel
