WORLD MAP DISPLAY
AT
CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY LIBRARY

Submitted by Thomas Y. Yeh
Head, Documents, Maps and Microforms


On December 20, 1995, CWU Library received six sheets of D.M.A. World
Maps, series 1150, 3rd ed., 1995, scale: 1:14,000,000.  Our Map
Technician, Brian Bach, initiated the idea of mounting the six maps
together on a wall for display.  Thomas Y. Yeh, Head of Documents, then
approached the Friends of the Central Washington University Library,
applied for and received a $400 grant to purchase a 7'x9' metal frame,
and also secured a matching grant from the Dean of Library and Media
Services to purchase a 7'x9' sheet of plexiglass for the purpose of
framing the 6-sheet D.M.A. depository map, which was assembled by the
Documents Department.  This beautiful map is now mounted on the first
floor lobby wall adjacent to the library's main entry as a permanent
display.  It attracts a lot of patron attention and has become one of
the library's attractions.
