Just curious if mappy titles have come up for return or destroy under orders from GPO. As I theoretically watch out for "freedom to read/intellectual freedom" issues for the Map and Geography Round Table of ALA, I would like to hear of any maps, atlases, geographic reports which are requested to be withdrawn. As Map Division, NYPL is not in the vicinity of the government documents department here at NYPL, I might not hear about same as soon as others might. Thanks in advance for your input. Alice C.
