-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Open vs. closed stacks and floor plans Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 13:38:55 -0400 From: Tom Cutshall <[log in to unmask]> ------------------ Dear MAPS-L, As a new map cataloger I have enjoyed the great information shared on this listserv. May I join in the discussion with the following questions: 1. What do you see as the benefits and drawbacks to users, staff, and collection to having open (but supervised) vs. closed stacks for the general (non rare) map collection? 2. Do you have any good map collection floor plans/layouts that you could direct me to on the web or send directly to me as e-mail attachment? Your help with the above questions are greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tom Tom Cutshall Map Cataloger Cataloging Dept. UGA Main Library [log in to unmask]
