This forwarded posting is not specifically about *map* libraries/collections' closure, or threat thereof. But a similar [carto-]graphic exercise of such in the British Isles might be a valid GIS project and illustrate where map collections have been lost (classified by amalgamation, incorporation into a larger/general library; sale/auction; dispersal; 'chucking out into a skip without telling anyone'; etc.). And a time factor indicating what advance warning - and to whom - such losses were publicized beforehand. Maybe over the last 20 years would be a start . . . -----Original Message----- From: Maps, Air Photo, GIS Forum - Map Librarianship [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Angie Cope, American Geographical Society Library, UW Milwaukee Sent: 18 July 2012 14:13 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: British libraries under threat -------- Original Message -------- Subject: british libraries under threat Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2012 07:53:43 -0400 From: Catherine Hodge-Bodart <[log in to unmask]> To: Interesting map of libraries that have been forced to close, are under threat of closure, and have been saved: http://libraries.fromconcentrate.net/
