-------- Original Message -------- Subject: DMA map questions Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2003 08:57:35 -0500 From: Alexander, Claire L. <[log in to unmask]> ------------------ I have several questions about DMA maps. I am relatively new to the map room and the directions written up from prior staff include handwritten or typed notes about DMA maps: One is that Series 1501 may not be photocopied or checked out, but may be photographed and/or traced. I cannot find the original instructions. It would be nice to be able to explain it to questioning patrons. Does anyone know a source where I can read the original directive? I am also wondering if such a restriction would ever be lifted, and if so, how that information would be communicated. The second directive is that superceded DMA maps are to be shredded. It clearly applies to maps that say "Distribution Limited. Destroy when no longer needed." But I wonder if it applies to other DMA maps not so marked as well. And I am wondering to what extent the shift from DMA to NIMA changes any old directives. You can answer me directly--if there is group interest I'll summarize answers. Thanks for your help.
