Good to hear from you. We are not inundated and you sound like just the
person we are looking for.
Details of the section and it's work at:
http://www.ifla.org/VII/s6/index.htm
The Section is an international forum to promote and coordinate the
collection, storage and access to geographic and cartographic
information. It provides communication between and the professional
development of map curators. The Section's objectives are to initiate
projects and studies, the findings of which are published in the form of
technical monographs, occasional papers, standards, cataloguing rules,
manuals, directories, bibliographies, newsletters, etc. In addition,
close liaison with cartographic, geographic and related organizations is
created and maintained.
One thing, they are currently working on is an update to ISBD(CM):
International Standard Bibliographic Description for Cartographic
Materials - to incorporate electronic resources.
This is a wonderful professional (and social) opportunity.
Do please ring me for more info or for an informal chat. 020 7255 0643.
Thanks
Julie

Subject: Re: Urgent: International Opportunity
Dear Julie
I am possibly interested - I run the University's Earth Sciences Library
and we have a large collection of geological maps (40,000 +). I am a
member of CILIP.
If you are inundated with interested parties then no problem but if not
and you think that I would be suitable could you send me some more
details of what this entails?
Many thanks
Elizabeth (Libby) Tilley
