The day before a long holiday weekend.... Choices, choices..... On my desk choice 2 -- to catalog and add to our small but growing collection of fantasy and literary maps, a set of maps for Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series.

Not everything fit in last Friday's exhibit for the 100th anniversary celebration of the #UIUC Main Library building -- so we put together a supplemental exhibit in the Map Library.

On my desk today -- to catalog and add to the collection. We collect data-driven maps fairly aggressively from @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com but maps appear rarely in the local paper.

On my desk today -- 3 different editions of the same atlas with no easily identified differences except for the edition statement and no publication date!
