================================================ MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ================================================ Subject: Information on Claims at USGS Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2005 From: Zellmer, Linda R <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps, Air Photo & Geospatial Systems Forum <[log in to unmask]> Hello, As the CUAC Liaison with USGS, I contacted several people regarding the USGS claims process, as several people have recently commented on the fact that they were not getting any response to claims. If you are aware of the situation with the USGS Libraries (many librarians took an early buyout last year), the same thing happened in the publications area. As a result, they only had one person who was familiar with the claims process, and the claims fell behind. Apparently the USGS has done some cross-training, so claims should be catching up. If you are still one of those with an outstanding claim, please let me know and I will try and get more information for you.
