> I. Geography
> Education:
> - What constitutes a "typical" education for someone
> wanting to be a cartographer today? Include GIS
> and other types of software that an individual needs
> to master to become a competent cartographer/manipulator and
> presentor of geospatial data.
>
> Use of geospatial data:
> - How do users use hardcopy vs. online maps in their
> studies or research?
> - Geographers as map users; do they prefer online
> maps for research purposes over hardcopy maps,
> and if so, why? Explore this based on sub-
> disciplines such as demography, economic
> geography, physical geography, etc.
> - What are the most "popular" cartographic topics
> today in terms of mapping phenomena? How has
> this changed from 25, 50, or 100 years ago and why?
>
>
> II. Geospatial data and collections
> Acquisitions and selection:
> - "Cartofact" collections, an overview of these
> - governmental mapping agencies; patterns and trends
> in publication
> - non-governmental geospatial-data producting
> agencies; associations; commercial
>
> Cataloging and acquisitions:
> - history of map cataloging
> - cataloging maps using surrogates
> - linking techniques used in the bibliographic record
> to indicate relationships such as: parent/child;
> other edition/original edition; and original form/
> other physical form of material
> - explanation of various forms of reproduction of
> hard-copy maps (e.g., printing; blueline; blueline print;
> photographic reproduction; etc.)
> - original vs. copy cataloging of sheet maps, pros
> and cons relating to matters such as quality of record
> produced, cost effectiveness, etc.
> - cataloging of maps on microform, facsimile maps,
> and maps published in photocopy form
> - Will all of the world's maps and other geospatial data
> ever be cataloged? Should they be?
> - Compare/contrast describing hardcopy vs. digital
> cartographic materials
> - hardcopy shelflists - for and against
>
> Education:
> - an article on the overall scope of map librarian
> and/or geography societies/associations/groups.
> - educational requirements needed to administer
> a research map collection, how have they changed and why?
>
> Preservation:
> - Keeping hardcopy maps when originals are scanned -
> does everyone have to keep on keeping everything?
