Hi everyone,
I am a masters student in the MLIS program at SJSU. For one of my courses, my professor has assigned me to conduct a short interview on map & GIS librarians on your professional backgrounds and current duties, what your typical requests for services looks like in a day, and where you turn to obtain needed answers and resources. Thank you!

You may find faster (better) results by contacting libraries with map collections like University of Hawaii (there was a mudslide several years ago that destroyed a portion of their map collection), Texas Tech University, University of Texas, University of Colorado, University of Wisconsin, etc...
