Review
Mary Larsgaard's Map Librarianship is authoritative, comprehensive, detailed, focusing on theory, techniques, and practices, and on the practical short-term and long-term aspects of working with cartographic materials. Map Librarianship covers maps, atlases, globes, digital data, remote sensing imagery, and other technologically advanced materials. Map Librarianship reflects the changes brought about by recently available library automations options as well. The arrangement of material parallels the steps a librarian would take in dealing with cartographic materials, starting with selecting and acquiring them; classification; cataloging; care, storage and repair; public relations and reference services; and education. The final section is composed of a current bibliography and appendices that provide such information as a sample acquisitions policy and a sample collection development policy; lists of publications not in the scope of the bibliography itself; addresses for publishers of globes and raised-relief maps; information on acquisitions lists; a free-request form; a cataloging workform; a list of equipment and supplies companies; and a sample syllabus for a course. A subject index facilitates access. Map Librarianship is profusely illustrated with charts, profiles, and diagrams. Map Librarianship is a necessary and valuable addition to any library science reference shelf. -- Midwest Book Review
