Our purposes in the poster are to demonstrate some of the less satisfactory aspects of the ways we are now able to provide access and description for maps in our catalogs and to look towards some improvements that may develop. One of the possible improvements that interest us is the addition of coordinates in data fields to authority records for places. This would entail having a proposal for the specific changes submitted to MARBI and approved for addition to the MARC Format for Authority Records. Such a proposal would be greatly strengthened by the ideas and support of the community of Map Librarians such as you. An early draft of this proposal will be available at the poster. Some of you may be unable to attend the poster session, perhaps in order to see the program below: ALA -MAGERT PROGRAM, MONDAY JUNE28, 2004,1:30PM-3:30PM TITLE: Scanning the Sunshine State: the University of Florida Map & Imagery Library Experience Location: Renaissance Orlando Resort SeaWorld, Palani Sailfish rooms.

We look forward to seeing many of you in Orlando, and encourage you to bring hats and umbrellas against the sun and rain.
