I am in the process of drafting a column for the "Map Library Bulletin
Board" of the NACIS journal, "Cartographic Perspectives" that attempts
to do the following:  1. sketch a brief history of ESIC, 2.  identify
ESIC materials that are already in the depository program, and 3.
name and annotate the reference tools that are unique to State ESIC
members.
