Subject: Library schools with map librarianship? - UW Madison option

SLIS, here at Madison (see signature file) does not have a joint degree
like University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. However there's nothing
stopping you from doing a dual degree here, which is what I did. The
geography school is rated one of the best in the nation, and you can do
an MS in Cartography/GIS or Geography. At SLIS, we have a geographer on
faculty and he teaches a course on integrating and using GIS to help
libraries called Mapping Community Information Agencies.
Here's his website:
http://www.journalism.wisc.edu/~gdowney/index.php
and the course webpage is:
http://www.journalism.wisc.edu/~gdowney/courses/lis-gis/index.html
I know he will be more than willing to answer any questions one might
have, so do not hesitate to write to him. You may also write to me as I
am very interested in Map/GIS Librarianship and have taken classes
accordingly, in Geography and other departments on campus.
Incidentally, we also have a great place for library students to gain
experience in map collections: The Arthur Robinson Map Library (yes, the
Robinson projection came from this school).
Best Wishes, Salim
