Carto 2013: A U.S. Map librarian's perspective

Paige Andrew offers his perspectives on the CARTO 2013 annual conference co-sponsored by the Association of Canadian Map Libraries and Archives and the Canadian Cartographic Association. Paige's conference experience began on the giving side of things, delivering a day-long basic maps cataloging workshop to nine eager attendees who were fun to work with because they not only were good listeners, but were interactive students, able and willing to ask good questions that made the day a lot of fun. Kudos go to Larry Laliberte in working with me on many logistics during the weeks leading up to teaching my workshop, including a room that worked really well for dealing with lots of actual maps to handle and hands-on exercises. While he was unable to stay for the entire rest of the conference, he is very pleased that he made the decision to attend the first two full days at least.
