This is my first note to this listserve, and so I'm a bit
apprehensive about whether my questions are relevant. Here
goes...
(1) I need to find certain paper or scanned geologic maps
of Georgia, to include in the National Geologic Map Database's
"mapView" interface (
http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/maps/mapview/).
We've got the USGS maps, but have an incomplete set of
Georgia Geologic Survey maps, and those by other publishers.
(This
holds true for other states as well, and especially for the
newer maps, which are born-digital...)
If you have Georgia GS maps in your library, or have
scanned them, would you please contact me so we can compare
notes?
(2) My project (National Geologic Map Database) is busily
scanning USGS and other-agency geoscience maps and reports.
We coordinate with the USGS Publications Warehouse and State
Geological Surveys, doing our best to be aware of "who's
scanned what", but we know that some duplication of effort is
inevitable.
Does there exist, or is there interest in developing, a
registry of publications for which a complete and high-quality
scan is available or is scheduled to be scanned, and which
organization holds that scan? I'm guessing this question has
been asked many times before and so, as a Listserve-newcomer,
I apologize in advance for not knowing the answer!
Regards.
