This raised the question in my puny mind as to what databases are most popular/most requested or used in map libraries. Somehow Proquest doesn't come to mind, but I may be wrong... Might individuals send me your TOP TWO [NOT TOP TEN!] databases as used in your map library? Send to [log in to unmask] If I get a significant response, especially clusters of faves, I will post the results. Or I will post the results anyway! Many thanks. Just trying to improve or offer new services here in ye olde paper map room, and am always open to stealing good ideas from folks further out on the edge of technology than I am.
