摘要
In 2021, the University of New Mexico's University Libraries conducted an evaluation of its Map and Geographic Information Center (MAGIC). 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.
