As a new Map Librarian, I am wanting to learn how other public libraries provide access to their state topographic map collection. Currently, our access consists of the book index and flat map index that is posted on the map case. For those of you who catalog these maps do you use Library of Congress or Dewey? Do you catalog each map or group them together? Did you outsource the project or was it down in-house? Also, what are your means of keeping an organized, up-to-date inventory? You can respond to me directly. Thank you, Amy Biddick Crull Map Librarian Mesa Public Library [log in to unmask]
