While maps remain an important part of library work, there has been a dearth of scholarly discussion on weeding maps. Some authors have offered suggestions in particular contexts – notably in public libraries and U.S. depository libraries. This leaves significant room for further discussion for those outside of the U.S. context, and those with more general map libraries. Following a literature review and contextual information situating the author's involvement in the topic, a discussion of methods and appropriate considerations are offered for weeding map collections. These guidelines are offered in point form in the conclusion for ease of referral.

Please welcome as guest author our long-standing colleague and friend Colleen Beard, Librarian Emeritus, Map, Data and GIS, Brock University. Colleen’s account of her ongoing research opens our eyes to the fascinating environmental history of the Welland Canal. She shares her experience of involvement with a SSHRC Insight Development Grant-funded project, and explains how knowledge of local environmental history and the varied technical skills of our trade have much to add to academic partnerships. As we redefine the nature of our work and reconsider research library mandates, the trend towards becoming full partners in research is important - a wonderful challenge and opportunity for many of us. Thank you, Colleen for continuing to inspire and lead us! We’ll see you at Puddy’s Bar & Grill for the next HWCMP talk! Barbara Znamirowski (Editor, GIS Trends)
请欢迎我们的长期同事和朋友Colleen Beard作为客座作者,她是布洛克大学地图、数据和GIS名誉馆员。科琳对她正在进行的研究的描述让我们看到了韦兰运河迷人的环境历史。她分享了自己参与SSHRC Insight Development Grant资助项目的经验,并解释了当地环境历史知识和我们行业的各种技术技能如何为学术合作伙伴关系增添很多内容。当我们重新定义我们工作的性质并重新考虑研究图书馆的任务时,成为研究领域正式合作伙伴的趋势很重要,这对我们许多人来说都是一个极好的挑战和机会。感谢Colleen继续激励和领导我们!我们将在Puddy‘s Bar&Grill与您见面,参加HWCMP的下一次演讲!Barbara Znamirowski(GIS趋势编辑)

This review provides an outline of the solution the University of Manitoba Libraries has implemented to integrate their ESRI Educational Site License. In looking at the tools available the project came to encompass the following:1. Semi-automated management and integration of UM ESRI site license using campus authentication methods2. Discovery and access point for proprietary and open researcher data3. Secure local environment for active-use geospatial datasets using ArcGIS EnterpriseThe following discusses the software specifics, use cases, and lessons learned in a Canadian academic library context.
