Our library is keeping only the most recent print version of the 7.5 series USGS topo maps for our state in the general collection. Older print versions of same and other series for our state only are being added to the cartographic collection in Special Collections.

Greetings,

I have seen a lot of offers of USGS topo sets on Maps-L for several years.  I was wondering if you would answer this quick question.  

My library is

1)  Keeping all our print USGS topo maps.  (perhaps storing all or some off-site)

2) Keeping only the print maps for the states (regions) that mainly interest my library’s community.

3) Withdrawing our print USGS topo map collection.

You can reply directly to me or respond to the list.

I will post the results.

Thanks.

Michael
