Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2011 10:55:36 -0700 From: Ken Rockwell <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> I have been asked by the head of our Knowledge Commons (i.e., "Reference") for recommendations on purchasing a good globe for display and reference. We had one there which was on a nice metal stand, but basically made of cardboard-and it suffered some mishap (whether an accident or an act of vandalism, I don't know) so that it now has a bad crack in it. Anyhow, we need a new one, maybe metallic or other more durable material. Also up-to-date politically and of a decent size, at least 16 inches diameter. Producer addresses and prices appreciated.
