The next LIBER Groupe des Cartothecaires conference is being held in
Estonia from 15-19 June 2010 ( http://www.nlib.ee/gdc ).
Although I can't attend, and I haven't so far managed to talk anyone
else into being the UK National Correspondent... I'm happy to compile
the UK report, as in previous years, and so keen to receive any
contributions - long or short - for the LIBER UK National Progress
Report, 2008-10 **by Friday 28 May**
The Report is usually structured around the following headings:
a. Activities of national/regional map curators groups; (study-days, new
projects, policy-statements etc.);
b. Education in mapcuratorship;
c. Automation of map-catalogues etc;
d. Acquisitions, collection development and exploitation;
e. New developments in electronic media/communications - new websites
and online maps - please include URLs;
f. Conservation & Restoration;
g. Special developments (new positions, new employees, reorganisations
etc.);
h. Conferences and symposia;
i. Exhibitions (name, dates, short contents, catalogues, URLs);
j. Publications (author, title, size, place of publication, publisher,
year of publication).
