Dear Colleagues,
On 14 June 2002 Tinho sent out, on this list, a copy of the agenda for LAST
YEAR’S Map Curators’ Business Meeting as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Apologies for absence
2) What can the MCG do to support map curators in their day-to-day
work?
3) Training
4) Reports
5) Digital Data
6) lis-maps
7) Cartographiti
8) Any Other Business
Thrilling, isn't it? Who says we don't know how to have a good time?
What would YOU like included on this year's agenda?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note the last line – “What would you like included in this year’s agenda? “
Well so far there has been a really massive lack of response.
It is therefore proposed that we adopt the same agenda as last year. (things
never change!) Under Item 3. Training - it is suggested that we discuss (1) the
possibility of running an one day introduction to map cataloguing for map
librarians ) and (2) a one day introductory course on the history of map
production - ms, printing methods, paper types etc.
Any further items for the agenda to be sent to Tinho via this list by Wednesday
24 July 2002.
The Map Curators’ Group business meeting will be held on Thursday evening
12 September 2002 at Portsmouth at 20.00. The Map Curators’ Group
Workshop is on Friday morning 13 September 2002 9.15 – 12.45.
