MAGIRT update to the Round Table Coordinating Assembly

Each round table was invited to submit a blurb summarizing our activities over the last year. I'm going to paste the MAGIRT blurb below. It sounds awfully braggy, but I couldn't help it - we're the coolest round table! Map and Geospatial Information Round Table (MAGIRT) MAGIRT has transitioned ...

An antiquarian map store in downtown Chicago

I've located two antiquarian map dealers in the Chicago area, and one is in downtown Chicago very close and convenient to where we will be next month. Harlan J. Berk, Ltd. is primarily a coin shop (Paige!) but they also deal with maps --- enough so that they will be exhibiting at the upcoming ...

Roger Knouff, Associate Librarian, Arizona State University

Today I received a formal letter in the mail from Arizona State University notifying me that Roger Knouff's application for promotion to Associate Librarian is to be approved. Actually it is a little slipperier than that, the library administration recommends it up their chain of command, and if it is ...

Instant Tour Groups: What to do

Scenario: A tour group shows up unexpectedly; perhaps you get a five-minute warning as they are on their way to your area, or maybe they show up unannounced.

Two short videos on using Skype for MAGIRT Committee Meetings

I made two short (and very low-budget) videos that show on-screen how to create and use Skype for MAGIRT committee meetings. You do not need a video camera to use Skype, and in fact MAGIRT meetings never use video. We do highly recommend a headset though. On the video window, don't overlook the little ...
