Over the next nine days the Olympics will shut down most of the University of Georgia, including the Map Collection. The Map Collection will be closed July 27 through August 3. It will reopen on Sunday, August 4. The Map Room was to remain open limited hours but security and parking concerns recently heighten and the Map Collection was deemed non-essential. Maps-L messages should continue, but may be slightly delayed. The moderator's home computer has been having problems (probably due to poor wetware). The moderator may have to act like an olympic visitor to get in to use a computer on campus. Johnnie
