The Stanford Map Collection found a temporary librarian a few weeks ago, and things are looking good! Phil Hoehn, the former head of the Earth Sciences and Map Library at UC-Berkeley, stepped out of his early retirement at the end of August to fill the role of acting Map Librarian here at Branner.
After receiving his bachelor's in Geography at UCLA, Phil earned his MLS at Berkeley in 1967, and worked there as a Map Librarian under one title or another ever since.
Phil will continue his commute to Stanford from San Francisco twice a week (Wednesdays and Fridays) until the permanent Map Librarian position is filled. He is directing the majority of his time to collection development and maintenance, and to general reference hours at Branner. Phil currently is also working with Jean Kan to promote university-wide awareness of Map Collection and Services.
Please give Phil a call at 5-1103 (Wednesdays and Fridays only) if you have map-related questions or just want to say hi!
