Subject: Announcing New Co-editors for the Journal of Map & Geography Libraries

We are pleased to announce that beginning with the year 2018 issues (volume 14) new co-editors will lead the Journal of Map & Geography Libraries forward. Ms. Marcy M. Bidney, Curator of the American Geographical Society Library at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Mr. Nathan B. Piekielek, the Geospatial Services Librarian and Head of the Donald W. Hamer Center for Maps and Geospatial Information at the Pennsylvania State University are the new co-editors of JMGL.

Ms. Bidney and Mr. Piekielek are imminently qualified to serve in this important role. Ms. Bidney earned her MLIS from Drexel University and a M.A. in Geography and Urban Studies from Temple University, both in Philadelphia and a B.A. in Geography from Rowan University in New Jersey. Mr. Piekielek holds advanced degrees from Montana State University (Ph.D.) and the University of Georgia (Master of Science), and a B.S. from the Pennsylvania State University in Geographic Information Science. 

Both have knowledge and experiences deeply rooted in Geography, the GI Sciences, Librarianship and other disciplines that will contribute to the success of the journal. We are very excited for Marcy and Nathan, will be working with them through a transition period, and look forward to changes they will make. Feel free to send article ideas, questions and comments to them at [log in to unmask]. For more information about the journal, see http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/wmgl20.
