Docs. librarian here brought this to my attention. I'm amazed that the sender didn't send it to Maps-l, but... "The University of Pittsburgh Library System has recently formed a Maps Task Force to try and get a handle on our map and atlas collections. We will be considering the current state of affairs, access to the collec tion, acquisitions, processing and service. We will be surveying the collections around the university libraries, talking with library staff, and setting up a non-library faculty advisory group. One this we plan to do is identify well-run map collections to visit and consult with. While we are particularly interested in map collections at institutions within 4-5 hours of Pittsburgh, we are willing to consider traveling to others who can help us. Please send responses to me or the listserver. Thanks for any help, advice, or recommendations. M.B. Miller [log in to unmask] Mary Beth Miller, Govt.
