As in past years, the 2003 Project will be limited to cooperative participants from university and college libraries in the United States. You are invited to participate in the 2003 Project according to the following procedures. Qualified librarians, faculty members, or students will be accepted as cooperative participants. Sponsoring institutions are responsible for salaries, housing/subsistence costs, transportation expenses of the participants, and for all costs incurred in shipping materials selected by the participants. Project members are assigned to train/work with permanent staff members of the Geography and Map Division on various tasks related to technical processing and bibliographic and reference services. Benefit to the participants and sponsoring institutions is twofold. In addition to the experience gained by working in a large research map library with highly qualified professionals, participants select maps, charts, and atlases from available duplicate stocks for transmittal to their sponsoring institutions. The Project will begin on Monday, July 7th and conclude Friday, August 8th. For maximum benefit to you and your institution, we encourage participation for the full 5 week period. Project members are expected to report at 9:00 a.m., July 7th, to Room B02, James Madison Memorial Building, Library of Congress, 1st and Independence, S.E. If you wish to be considered for the 2003 Project, please visit the Geography and Map Division homepage at http://www.loc.gov/rr/geogmap/ to download the Special Project Questionaire.
