----------------------------Original message---------------------------- MAPS-L FOLK: About one year ago, I posted information about a colleague of mine (Ms. Fran Rickert of Rickert & Associates) who provide map cataloging services. They have just completed a project for the National Geographic Society (NGS) and are now seeking other clients. In this age of "out-sourcing," I highly recommend Fran's work. She can create map records for your online catalog or input to OCLC using the full MARC format. She offers Susan Fifer Canby (NGS) as a reference regarding quality of work. Susan may be reached at (202) 857-7787. James O. Minton Cartographic Information Center The University of Tennessee-Knoxville [log in to unmask]
