It will be progressively opened. *1. October 2010.* Opening of the international directory of the map libraries, producers or sellers of cartographic documents.

April 2011.* Tools for participation to the index of the series. *However* a detailed presentation of /CartoMundi/ is already online at the following address http://cartomundi.mmsh.univ-aix.fr <http://cartomundi.mmsh.univ-aix.fr/>. You will find information about principles, mode of operation, work organization, costs of use, interfaces… in four slides show in PDF format: Chapter 1. Main principles Chapter 2. Partnerships and financial aspects Chapter 3. Public interface Chapter 4. Map librarians interface *From January 2011*, the website will present a first catalogue for several sets of maps. This information is being gathered. You are invited to participate by sending sheet indexes, lists of sheets or descriptions of series. To help you prepare these documents you will find guidelines and pre-formated files to record data at the same address. These documents are in French and in English. Unfortunately the English version is not completely translated yet. Whatever the region of the world represented, the period, the reduction scale or the subject, we are interested by the description of any series provided they have more than 4 sheets. *Any form of contribution* will give the right to reductions on charges for the use of the collective catalogue.
