While there is no mention of map libraries, it is interesting and quite comprehensive. Samples: The Generation X of Surveying and Mapping What's in a Name (Geomatics) Becoming a Cartographer (incl. selective list of universities) Careers and Salaries There is also an unrelated article called "To Do the Other Things; CORONA and the Secret Cartography of the Cold War", which describes the CORONA spy satellite program of the 1960's. Single copies of the ACSM Bulletin are available from the Congress at $8.00, plus postage and handling.
