CONT

... the map librarian [is] an intermediary between map collection and user... The librarian function as translator and mediator between patrons and materials is possibly more important in a historical map library than in another type, because so many of the users from the amateur genealogist to the historical researcher are unfamiliar with the potential uses of maps. Map users will often need a guide who can teach them to apply the apparatus of historical criticism to maps, as they are adept at doing to other historical sources.

CONT

Map librarians, Dr. Williams noted, are the fortunate recipients of ages worth of knowledge about the world.

Subject field(s)
  • Electrical Measuring Equipment

CONT

Magnetic bubble memory testers are used to examine bubble memory systems. Testers vary from unit to unit and in their ability to test memory devices of various capacities. Units can accommodate different memory architectures including serial, major/minor loop, block replicate, and even/odd configurations. They may offer capabilities for diagnostics testing(which isolates and defines design problems), device evaluation testing, and parallel functional testing. A computer may provide the central control and data collection functions for the magnetic bubble memory tester. The purpose of the loop status memory is to maintain a bit map of defective minor loops as they occur so that bubbles will be written into bad loops in later operations. This technique of maintaining minor loop status reduces test times.
