At Multnomah County Library, we are in category 2, more or less -- we have kept the most recent print edition of 7.5 and 15 min. maps for Oregon, Washington, and California.  In the past we kept some historical topos of selected places in Oregon and Washington (from various series); and we'll continue to retain those.  

We also kept our set of 1:25,000-scale USGS topos for the whole US.

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
