For about a year or so I have been dabbling with computer mapping software on the Macintosh. My purpose was not to invent a sophisticated retrieval system such as CartoNet(at least not yet!), or to produce the perfect road map but to determine whether the computer could be used for its graphic capabilities to make Map Library operations easier, more accommodating, and user friendly. And my conclusion is an exciting ... yes, it can! The purpose of this paper is to share some of the things I have learned about computer mapping on the Macintosh, and how we can use these techniques in the everyday operation of a map collection.
