A few months ago there was a discussion on this list about where people
file maps.  Some people said that they put them in their pamphlet file or
vertical file.  Our library recently discontinued our vertical file, but
we have found over the intervening months that there are items we receive
that are too small to stand on regular bookshelves.  We are considering
reopening our vertical file, but with modifications (a nod to documents on
the Web).  My question is: what are other libraries doing with their
vertical collections?  Keeping them?  Rewriting their policies?

Any comments appreciated.
