-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Map Cataloging Work Area Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 13:01:43 -0800 From: Kathy Stroud <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps and Air Photo Systems Forum <[log in to unmask]> ------------------ To all map catalogers, Do you have any recommendations for your "ideal" work area? We're looking for ways to improve our map cataloger's work area so that it is more comfortable, efficient, etc. Currently we have a computer stand and a desk set up next to each other. The computer is used for cataloging as well as e-mail, word processing, ordering, etc. The desk, of course, provides a large flat surface, but is also used as a desk for holding paperwork. I'd appreciate recommendations or examples of design and arrangement of an integrated work area for cataloging sheet maps and computer files in an online environment. (Someone else deals with atlases.) Thanks, Kathy Stroud, Map/GIS Librarian Government Information and Maps Peter J. Shields Library 100 NW Quad Davis, California 95616-5292 (530) 752-5248
