Colleagues may be interested to know - as we didn't until this
week - of the current feasibility study into a National Union
Catalogue for libraries the UK. The NLS Map Library has just been
given a questionnaire which has filtered down from somewhere
above inviting responses on the idea, and as maps are mentioned
as potential category of material to be included, this could
be an opportunity to promote a union database of online
cartographic records? For those interested, there are more
details on the whole project available at:
