Dear WAMLite:
 
The 1998 Spring Meeting of the Western Association of Map
Libraries will be held at Stanford University from March 25 through
March 28, 1998.  Hosted by the Branner Earth Sciences Library, the
diverse program will include nine discussion sessions and
presentations featuring thirteen speakers on a variety of topics of
current interest. Besides the program and business meetings, there
will be a dinner banquet, a Friday lunch, and a field trip.
 
Those interested in learning more about ArcView GIS can sign up
for either a pre-conference or a post-conference workshop, during
which Angela Lee from ESRI will be offering hands-on demonstrations.
Topics will include the spatial analyst extension; government data
sources such as DEMs, DOQ, and DLGs; the Street Map extension; the
Internet Map Server, and a demo of the 3-D analyst.
