----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Of particular interest to maps-l: http://www2.nas.edu/besr/230a.html Don't know how familiar with this every one is. I only heard about it because our CEO is on the NSF Mapping Sciences Committee. Looks interesting, but I am concerned with the underwhelming representation of librarians in the discussions (that's just one of the problems). Pass it on among your friends in the map library community, and I'll do the same. I'm interested to hear what others on maps-l think about this. ~ Quinn -- _____________________________________________ Quinn R.
