... 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. 2, record 1, English, - map%20librarian
