    we are also very interested in this opportunity at Irvine - for the digital - any special features like zooming in/out, searching, and how effective are the copying possibilities if a user needs to do that?  Costs per campus if we share digital collection among more campuses & I assume that this is one-time purchase?  Thanks, julia

    Hi Mary,

    Yes, I'm interested.  Can we work a deal with Geoff so that we can both
    have digital files?  I'd be glad to keep all the paper maps as well.
