MAGERT workbook on cataloging rare and antiquarian maps
available for purchase

Did you miss ALA's Map and Geography Round Table preconference on
cataloging early maps and atlases, Rare, Antiquarian or Just Plain
Old: Cataloging Pre-Twentieth Century Cartographic Resources, which
was held last June at the Library of Congress prior to the American
Library Association Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.? The
workbook used in the preconference and issued to participants has
been reprinted and is available for purchase from MAGERT for $40.
Our current supply will soon be sold out, but we are doing another
printing in response to your firm orders. So to be sure to obtain a
copy, send your requests without delay to the address below. The
workbook includes illustrations and cataloging examples taken from
sheet maps, atlas plates and atlases, focusing on early and
pre-twentieth century cartographic materials. Some of the areas
covered by the workbook include elements of description,
transcription, mathematical data and supportive research. The $40
price includes shipping and handling.

Orders for the workbook, Rare, Antiquarian, or Just Plain Old, should be
