Their conference/instruction room has steel whiteboards. They can "hang" maps with coated magnet strips. They add to this, something I've found helpful; mylar sheets to put over the map while it is attached to the wall (if you don't have magnet option, make a mylar "envelope" to hold the map, which can be attached using tape, or tacks, pins, etc. depending on your surface--put map inside the mylar envelope and damage the mylar edges instead of the map). I've also used something like this in the office to temporarily "hang" a map up for viewing, especially when cataloging a map (my office has one free wall, which is a window. I clip the mylar envelope to window frame, or tape to glass, with map inside). David J.
