Whether you inherited official map collection duties or are struggling with a few unexpected items, this outcome-oriented session will ensure that you make the most of the opportunity to work with maps in all formats. Join us in Las Vegas to explore the exciting world of map librarianship! Speakers Katherine Rankin, Mary Larsgaard, and Hallie Pritchett will guide you through the "what's what" of maps, including collecting, storage and collection management. Attendees will learn about major digital resources and how to strike a balance between print and digital collections. Bring your questions and bring a friend. The first 100 attendees will receive a free map and a MAGIRT logo souvenir. This 90-minute session will be held at the American Library Association Annual Conference, Saturday June 28, 2014, 1:00-2:30pm PDT. Watch for further details on the room location.
