How much of a corollary with (e.g.) UK policies, might be of interest to some 'Lis-maps' subscribers - not that I'm expecting a member of (e.g.) BRICMICS will already be flight+hotel-booked to attend as an observer . . . (April?). FH From: Maps-L: Map Librarians, etc. [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Hallie Pritchett Sent: 08 October 2015 00:11 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Mapping the Nation and Beyond: Maps from the Federal Government - a Depository Library Council Session One of the Council sessions at the upcoming 2015 Depository Library Council Meeting and Federal Depository Library Conference will be on maps and map retention: Mapping the Nation and Beyond: Maps from the Federal Government Tuesday, October 20th, 10:30AM-12:00PM As the United States is one of the world's largest producers of cartographic resources, maps have long been distributed through the Federal Depository Library Program. However, as these resources are increasingly going digital, depository libraries are weeding their historic paper maps in record numbers. This session will provide an overview of the types of maps distributed to libraries through the FDLP and other programs, compare and contrast paper versus online maps, and make the case for retaining and preserving paper maps. Presenters: Hallie Pritchett, University of Georgia Carol McAuliffe, University of Florida All Council sessions will be broadcast for virtual attendance. Registration is FREE!
