The
Map and Geography Round Table (MAGERT) is one of 15 round tables in
the American Library Association. Formed in 1980, MAGERT--with over
380 members, the world's largest map library organization--provides
a forum for people interested or involved in any aspect of map or
geography librarianship. MAGERT members benefit from:
- A forum for the exchange
of ideas by persons working with or interested in map and geography
collections or information.
- Advocacy and education
for increased availability, use and control of map and geography collections.
- Annual meetings with informative
programs and opportunities to meet professional colleagues; mid-winter
working meetings providing opportunities for involvement on committees
and task forces; and informal after-meeting gatherings offering fun
and new friends.
- Publications such as
MAGERT's newsletter base line, the Occasional Paper
series, and the Guide to U.S. Map Resources (2nd edition was
published by ALA in 1990).
