We don’t have a desk, so patrons just ask the first staff person they see, which is usually me.

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!
Best,
Francine
