This full-day workshop focuses primarily on print maps and print atlases but does briefly cover globes, digital maps, and other cartographic content. It includes PowerPoint slides, lots of exercises, lots of audience participation, a game or two, and a manual for each participant.  It is informative and fun!
Participants are expected to have a basic knowledge of cataloging but need not have any experience cataloging maps. Experienced map catalogers are welcome as well.
