----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I am in the process of drafting a column for the "Map Library Bulletin Board" of the NACIS journal, "Cartographic Perspectives" that attempts to do the following: 1. sketch a brief history of ESIC, 2. identify ESIC materials that are already in the depository program, and 3. name and annotate the reference tools that are unique to State ESIC members.
