Abstract
Maps serve to orient lives and navigate landscapes. The historic progression of map-making cultures and collectors may date back as far as 12 millennia. Map librarianship as a career track is a mid-20th century phenomenon. Librarians managing cartographic collections must be geo-literate and have adequate academic library school coursework to design effective map and geospatial services. 21st century cartographers and geographers have gained new importance in documenting natural disasters through the use of global social media channels, maps, and geographic information systems. For librarians to be essential liaisons they must assure maps and geospatial data are freely available. As NeoGeography and NeoCartography have become commonplace, it is time library school programs support NeoMap Librarianship and join the Geospatial Revolution.
