FYI There have been some responses - on 'MAPS-L' - to this request. On an (unrequested) level, might there be any UK, or other subscribers', inputs? Either direct to Carlos Diaz or to 'the world at large' (e.g. LIBER GdC)?

Andrew <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Carlos, You don't specifically mention what kind of things you (actually, your dean) wants to benchmark against. I'm assuming (and forgive me if I'm totally wrong!) it is things related to the operations of a map/GIS collection? If so, let me share an important document that MAGIRT pulled together a few years ago (2008 -- time flies!) that we are discussing revising and updating right now that might be helpful: http://www.ala.org/magirt/sites/ala.org.magirt/files/content/publicationsab/MAGERTCoreComp2008.pdf This MAGERT (now MAGIRT) Core Competencies document is also posted somewhere on ALA's website with other similar core competencies for the profession documents (or at least it used to be, I haven't gone to look in a long time). Hopefully this helps? Otherwise, would you mind being a little more specific so folks on the list can assist?

Our library dean has asked each department of our library to research best practices, policies and procedures, and benchmarks for similar institutions as ours. Right now, we are willing to look at anything that anyone has available. If you have a report or manual that you are willing to share, please send us what you have. We will be forever grateful. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ,-~~-.___. / | ' \ "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of ( ) 0 the few or the one." \_/-, ,----' ==== // Mr. Spock / \-'~; /~~~(O) Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan / __/~| / | =( _____| (_________| Carlos A.
