----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hello all. Those of you who have experience with the US Army Map Service series and/or Japan city maps may perhaps be willing to help with this query. A researcher here at MIT in the Foreign Languages & Literatures department here at MIT is looking for a map of the city of Hiratsuka, Japan. He would like to get a copy of the one made by the Army Map Service as part of their Japan City Plans series. Barring that, he would like to find one of Hiratsuka at the scale of 1:12,500 or less and in English. He wants to be able to scan the map into a computer file. MIT's copy of this particular map is missing. ( i am assuming that the AMS maps are no longer available for sale, and if this is a faulty assumption, please correct me.) I have forwarded a request to our interlibrary borrowing at MIT. However, in order to cast the net as wide as possible, I ask: Would any librarian be willing to loan their copy via interlibrary borrowing or by other means, or could arrangements possibly be made for a high quality reproduction or scanned copy, please? similarly, any leads towards a reasonable substitute would be appreciated. Please reply to me and not to the list. Many thanks. Garrett Eastman MIT Libraries Lindgren Library Room 54-200 77 Massachusetts Ave. Cambridge, MA 02139 [log in to unmask] (617)253-9325
