Greetings
 
Our map working party is tossing around the issue of lending
maps. At QUT maps hang in open access on rungs by a plastic
strip affixed to the top of the sheet. I have reservations
because maps are fragile by nature. Would be interested in
hearing from academic libraries who have considered this issue
and of the experience of academic libraries who loan maps.
 
Thanks,  Graham.
