Always have cartographic training. The Western Association of Map Librarian has an annual meeting, there may be sessions there. The GIS Geospatial Information Society deals more with GIS data sets, but they may have something about cataloging those. Check for presentations and publications by Paige G. Andrew. Probably forgetting something, but these spring to mind.

I have looked at the LC, OCLC, and LYRASIS sites, and generally searched the web, and I'm not finding much. I have found this Map Catalogers' Tool Box (http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~dbertuca/maps/cat/map-cat-toolbox.html#web), which looks very helpful, but I want to ask active map catalogers for advice, because I surely could be missing something.
