The Map and Geography Round Table (MAGERT) of the American
 Library Association is pleased to announce that Vi Moorhouse, Senior
 Map Cataloger, at the Government Printing Office, is the 1998
recipient of the MAGERT Honors Award.  The award is given
 annually to a librarian for outstanding service to map librarianship.
 
Ms. Moorhouse has worked with maps since 1983, the year that maps
were brought into the Depository Library Program.   Her colleagues
define her as dedication to GPO and the Library Program as "legendary."
She is known for accepting the most difficult maps to catalog and
doing them well.  Her productivity, commitment, intelligence and
good humor have made her invaluable to GPO and the map community.
 
 The Honors Award will be presented at the annual MAGERT reception
on Friday  June 26th at the St. James Suites Hotel, 950 24th Street NW,
Washington, DC.  MAGERT members and their friends are invited
to drop by between 7 and 9 pm for the informal reception and to
honor our 1998 award winner, Vi Moorhouse.
