[InetBib] Weitergeleitet: Map classification survey: Seeking responses

["Heuvelmann, Reinhold via InetBib" <inetbib@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Liebe Kolleg*innen,

[Mehrfachempfang bitte ich zu entschuldigen -- Weiterleiten ist gerne gesehen]

Eine Kollegin, die im MARC Advisory Committee den "Map and Geospatial 
Information Roundtable" (MAGIRT) der American Library Association (ALA) 
vertritt, hat mich gebeten, diesen Hinweis auf eine Umfrage zur Verwendung von 
Klassifikationen bei der Erschließung von kartographischen Ressourcen 
weiterzugeben und zur Teilnahme zu empfehlen. Das tue ich gerne.

Viele Grüße,

Reinhold Heuvelmann

Dear Colleagues:


You are invited to participate in a survey regarding the classification systems 
used to classify sheet maps, atlases, and other cartographic resources in your 
institution. The purpose of the survey is to determine which map 
classifications systems are in common use in institutions in the United States 
as well as in other countries. Institutions invited to participate in the 
survey include academic libraries, public libraries, museums, historical 
societies and similar organizations regardless of size.


Little has been written about map classification systems over the past 30 years 
and your participation in the survey would be most helpful to Map Catalogers, 
Map Librarians, and others responsible for organizing and classifying 
cartographic resources in their own institutions.


The survey is 
here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdkBJ9YSARYebaaccCeKvFBHzq3UYb2oLR9DJmBnsBa8RMM8A/viewform?usp=sf_link>:

Please respond by Friday, July 2.


The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete and is primarily multiple 
choice and check boxes.


Please share widely! Thank you in advance for your interest and participation.


Sincerely,


Paige Andrew, Penn State University
