ANNOUNCEMENT
 
WAML  Fall 1998 Meeting
September 16 - 18, 1998
Geography and Map Division
Library of Congress
 
The Geography and Map Division is pleased to host the Fall 1998 meeting
of the
Western Association of Map Libraries.  Knowing that many members of WAML
have
not had the opportunity to visit us before, we have planned a program
that will
provide opportunities to see our facilities, view our collections, and
meet
and discuss professional issues with the staff and administrators of the
Division.
We are intentionally planning a schedule that has plenty of free time
for
interaction among WAML members and staff of the Geography and Map
Division.
The tentative schedule is attached.  A final program with information on
 
transportation and lodging will be provided in late spring.
