MAGIC is the largest public map library in New Mexico, though usage has dropped over the last ten years. The author led a team of six people investigating MAGIC, reviewing documentation and conducting interviews to understand its usage, collection, services, and personnel in order to provide options for the University Libraries’ administration. This case study covers the 10-month review and the options provided, which range from closure to transformation.Keywords: Maplibrariesacademiccase studyevaluation Notes1 Editor and Author’s note: Just as this article was going to press, ACRL released a new publication titled “Conducting a Map Library Review: A Workbook to Help You on the Journey” by Janet Reyes. This is an important addition to the literature as it gives a step-by-step guide to follow for conducting a review of map collection and can be extremely helpful to those with no experience in map libraries who find themselves tasked with conducting a review.","PeriodicalId":246031,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Map and Geography Libraries","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135770665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
