Dear Ann,
A few notes. Include whatever you feel appropriate into the
plea for agenda items in order to get people thinking.

Thoughts for items for the for the Map Curators’ Business
Meeting at the Workshop
Could we have reports on:
Co-operative cataloguing in the UK
sharing of MODMAP cataloguing data (it is
acknowledged that this is on ice while MODMAP is
transferred to a different platform)
Raised at last year’s meeting:
Training issues
Developments in the Digital world
It’s easier to embrace the digital as an extra duty
rather than something completely different.
How can the digital revolution help us?
How do digital methods help research?
Self-teaching packages for the users
Internet library of historic cartographic items
(this issue was raised on lis-maps and maphist by Tony
Campbell with some useful comments from Bob McIntosh,
BGS)
Evaluation of the functionality catalogues of books
and maps on the internet
‘Curators are moving from being custodians of artefacts to
being interpreters of centrally held data’ Jan Smits (I
think)
