-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Regional Editors of the 3rd edition of Guide to US MapResources Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 17:01:09 -0600 (MDT) From: Thiry <[log in to unmask]> ------------------ Regional Editors Needed for the New Edition of the Guide to U.S. Map Resources Approximately 30-40 people are needed to be Regional Editors for the 3rd Edition of the Guide to U.S. Map Resources. This MAGERT publication was last produced in 1990; there have been significant changes in the map world since that time. The 3rd Edition is long overdue and your help is needed. Preference will be given to MAGERT members. The Regional Editors will act as liaisons between the Chief Editor (Christopher J.J. Thiry) and the libraries being surveyed. The Editors will be responsible to for specific geographic areas. Some will be able to cover several states, while some will share responsibility for such large states as California and New York. The Editors' jobs will be to make sure that ALL libraries in their regions participate by taking actions that they believe are necessary. On several occasions, the Regional Editors will "beat the bushes" in order to make sure libraries complete the survey. The survey itself is on the web. Participants in the survey will directly email the Chief Editor their information. The survey will be open approximately 3 months. The Survey itself will begin on October 15, 2003.
