Why your print map collection should be in your catalog. 2. Map types (multiple geological map types, human geography types (like political, economics, population, etc.), non-flat physical maps, like globes and raised relief, etc. 3. How maps are misused. For example, I have many times seen people use maps around election time to show how many counties voted "red" - but there are more people in my county than eight entire states. In other words, dirt doesn't vote. 4. History of maps. Such as: * Historic maps and their importancce. * How maps were created before computers. * why flat maps can never be 100% precise (projection types). 5. If time, how we map other planets. -Danny Daniel S.

I’m in the process of developing a course on Map/GIS Librarianship for the Department of Library and Information Science at Indiana University. I’m really starting from scratch, so would appreciate any input. What do you wish you learned in library school? Has anyone taught a similar course and would be willing to share resources? I’m imagining some combination of spatial humanities, map care & collecting, critical cartography, map types/reading, and a little bit of cartographic history, etc. Thanks in advance! Feel free to reply to me directly if you prefer.
