Seasoned Greetings,
 
Please forgive any cross-posting.
 
I am in the midst of evaluating our map collection.  We have mostly 7.5"
topos with coverage varying greatly from state to state.  The majority
of the topos are circa 1940 or earlier.  I should mention that we have 1
map filing cabinet with about 10 drawers.  I don't see the university
springing for another one ever.
 
I was wondering if anyone has developed some guidelines for map
collections which serve small liberal arts colleges/universities?  Any
guidance in this area would be greatly appreciated.
 
Cheers,
Meg
