About MAGERT

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).
