<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:MrsEavesXLSerifNarOT;color:black">If you are unfamiliar with our maps collection, here (<a href="http://guides.lib.fsu.edu/maps">http://guides.lib.fsu.edu/maps</a>) is a guide to the collection
that is located on the basement level of Strozier Library. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:MrsEavesXLSerifNarOT;color:black">Some context: The collection includes Subject Maps, Historical Maps, Nautical Charts, Army Map Service Maps, USGS Topographical Maps, Atlases, and hundreds of geography/cartographical
monographs. Although Strozier Library had several librarians dedicated to developing and managing the maps collection, the last of them retired in the mid-2000s. Since then, the collection has been mostly stagnant, with the exception of new print map additions
being sent from the USGS automatically as part of our government publications collection.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:MrsEavesXLSerifNarOT;color:black">In recent years, many academic libraries have significantly reduced or removed their maps collections because of the digital and online availability of maps, GIS
files, atlases, and other related materials. Prior to making any decisions, however, we are hoping you might be willing to provide some feedback on your awareness of and/or interest in the collection. If you are interested, please visit the following link
any time before <b>November 15<sup>th</sup></b> to complete a brief (3-5 minute) survey:
