All,

Our campus ergonomics experts just visited our map collection to provide us with tips about how to prevent injuries. They are thinking about making some type of tool to help lift the top layer of maps to assist in pulling and refiling maps from flat map cases. I seem to recall a discussion somewhere of whether such a device already exists, but can't remember the details.

Anyway, does anyone have an example of such a tool which does or does not work well?
