Maps-L is run out of the University of Georgia Libraries. At the end of each year the University gives a ten day holiday break to the faculty and staff during which the University is closed. As in the past I will try to keep Maps-L running from my home computer. Be warned that for the next two weeks (until Jan. 2, 1998) Maps-L may be irregular in postings, or cease for several days if my computer connections do not work. I hope everyone that celebrates a holiday at this time have a great holiday, and those that do not have a holiday, I hope have a great good time. Johnnie D. Sutherland Moderator, Maps-L
