      Did you miss ALA's Map and Geography Round Table preconference on
      cataloging early maps and atlases, Rare, Antiquarian or Just Plain
      Old: Cataloging Pre-Twentieth Century Cartographic Resources, which
      was held last June at the Library of Congress prior to the American
      Library Association Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.?  The
      workbook used in the preconference and issued to participants has
      been reprinted and is available for purchase from MAGERT for $40.
      Our current supply will soon be sold out, but we are doing another
      printing in response to your firm orders.  So to be sure to obtain a
      copy, send your requests without delay to the address below.  The
      workbook includes illustrations and cataloging examples taken from
      sheet maps, atlas plates and atlases, focusing on early and
      pre-twentieth century cartographic materials. Some of the areas
      covered by the workbook include elements of description,
      transcription, mathematical data and supportive research. The $40
      price includes shipping and handling.

Orders for the workbook, Rare, Antiquarian, or Just Plain Old, should be
sent to:
