We don't have a desk, so patrons just ask the first staff person they see, which is usually me. Jim Coombs Maps & GIS Librarian Missouri State University Springfield, MO 65897 (417) 836-4534 [log in to unmask] From: Maps-L: Map Librarians, etc. <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Francine Berish Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2018 8:41 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: staffing of maps libraries information desks Apologies for cross-posting. I have been tasked with reaching out to ask about the staffing of your maps, geospatial, and air photo collections. Who works at the desk? Students? Staff? Librarians? GIS specialists? I vaguely remember some surveys going around on the topic -but can't seem to find any now. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. I am aware of a section in "Maps and Related Cartographic Materials: Cataloging, Classification, and Bibliographic Control" Mary Larsgarrd L (2013) on this topic. Thanks for your help with this!
