Collaboration for Collection Access: Mapping Paley Library's Map collection

Samuel L. Paley Librarians collaborated with various Temple University departments to ensure that there is digital access to USGS topographical maps and to print on demand for items that have been removed from the tangible collection. A historical analysis was completed on the map collections, which entailed investigating the locations and availability and on use of the collection. This poster shows a history of the map collection and its evolution to meet the changing needs of patrons. It addresses the opportunities and challenges with the collection.
