Or very expensive.

I have never ever served one to a patron as I see little or no reference use for them. Perhaps model airplane glue instead if Elmers?

It seems they have a 1972 Hubbard Relief Map that “got a little torn” and was wondering if I knew anyone who could repair it. I don’t, off the top of my head. I think if I were in that situation it probably wouldn’t occur to me to find someone who could repair it. I’d probably get out a jar of Elmer’s glue and start sloshing away at it myself. But I’m only tangentially a map librarian. What would you all do? Mark Anderson Associate Professor of UL Research Services Librarian for Government Information, History And Geography James A.
