Are you buying digital materials instead of print? Are your budgets enhanced for this, or are you dividing the same funds between print and digital? Are you accessing digital maps and images remotely, and do remote sites figure in your collection scheme? Are these remote resources cataloged locally? Are you allocating time to digital map discovery and acquisition? How does this collection development relate to reference services? After the meeting, those who are interested in further discussion of the Sanborn Digital Maps, enhancements to that product, and possible projects will be invited to join a short discussion with ProQuest staff. Thanks, Karl Karl Longstreth Map Library, University Library & China Data Center, International Institute University of Michigan 920 North University Street Ann Arbor MI 48109-1205 USA [log in to unmask] 734.647.0646 fax 734.763.5080 --- End Forwarded Message ---
