Maps and cartographic materials (e.g., maps, charts, satellite and aerial photographs, atlases) constitute a large body of important items that have value in all fields of life and learning. Libraries may have special collections or just small files of maps. Either way, these items generally are not given the full access that books and standard format items do. Sometimes this is because there are not enough maps to catalog regularly, or there is no policy regarding this format. No matter what the reason, few institutions have map catalogers, or specialists in working with cartographic materials alone. Breaks and hands on practice sessions will be added as the day progresses. Introduction to Maps and Cartographic Materials
Cataloging Maps
Call numbers and Subject Headings
Map Resources online and print
