Hi Kathleen,

I attached ours from Indiana University (hopefully the attachment works). It’s outdated… we no longer even have a Geography and Map Library or a Geosciences Library (collections have been/are being consolidated in the main library). I’m actually planning to do an overhaul as well. I’m also interested in seeing what other people share!

Subject: Major map collection - CD Policy?

I’m overhauling my maps collection development policy and am curious to see those of other libraries.  I found a random assortment in a google search, but mostly smaller places that only mention maps in a couple of sentences.

The CD policies I’m most interested in seeing are those of very large map collections – ones that are actively being built above and beyond federal depository shipments.

If you have a policy, please share.

Thank you!
