Also, we didn't seem to have received a couple of the Map Lists, although I suppose they could have been misrouted here in the library. I got them from the World of Maps web site (Acrobat format). (Please don't ask me the exact URL; I can't find this again at their web site: www.worldofmaps.com ) Also, we started getting the fancier looking Map Lists in September. I notice that these don't list the Tyvek maps (which we were never entitled to, even before they dropped the 1:50,000s, and which we don't want). The Tyvek maps, however, are listed on the Acrobat Map Lists available on the web (that I can no longer find). ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mark Thomas / Public Documents & Maps / Perkins Library Duke University / Durham, NC 27708-0177 [log in to unmask] / voice: 919-660-5853 / FAX: 919-684-2855 The train ... traditional, yet environmentally sound. --Lisa Simpson --- End Forwarded Message ---
