Can map librarianship as a field of study and practice survive the advancements and changes associated with information technology? And is the map library -- traditionally a repository of paper maps -- a dinosaur as maps are increasingly stored and manipulated in electronic rather than paper form and transmitted online rather than in the mail? In this authoritative and comprehensive new work, an international panel of experts presents the case that despite the shift toward a digital environment, the need for map library archives is indeed as critical as ever and that curators of map collections, by providing control of electronic spatial data and guidance on its use, are as important as ever.The 17 thought-provoking chapters on a wide range of contemporary issues relating to map librarianship in the new millennium will get you up to speed on: -- New technologies in the map room-- Organizational change-- The changing profile of the map user-- The Internet and the World Wide Web-- Metadata and standards-- Geographical information systems (GIS)-- The new mapping industry-- Map dealing-- Electronic map packages-- Digital conservation and conversion-- Access to maps and spatial data-- Intellectual property rightsThis state-of-the-art collection will be invaluable to a broad global readership, including map librarians, students of cartography and geography, GIS specialists, and providers and researchers of spatial data.
