We do both 2 (current and historical for our state) and 1 but we are keeping only the most recent topo edition for all of the other states.

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
