Although not specifically maps, this might interest several here.
Although meeting registration is required, as can be seen below, it is
free. It may also be the case that some of the map librarians on this
list are ahead of what might be discussed at the webinar, and could
share their own experiences with others.

[apologies for cross-posting]
I thought some of you might be interested in our upcoming webinar on
creative strategies for user-initiated digitization in archives and
special collections. Three of our colleagues are presenting their
work-in-progress. Some of you might recognize the line-up from RBMS last
June. For this webinar we include two authors of the report - Francine
Snyder and Shannon Supple - and the first three speakers have updated
their presentations to include the latest tweaks to their experiments.
Many members of the working group will be attending online.

Register to Attend the Scan and Deliver: Creative User-initiated
Digitization in Special Collections and Archives Webinar on 22 September
at 2 p.m. EDT (UTC 18:00)
Are you ready to say, "Yes, we scan!"? Attend this webinar to learn
about streamlined methods for scanning and delivering digital copies of
special collections materials at the request of users.
Changes in technology and the increased visibility of special
collections have resulted in a deluge of requests for digital copies of
special collections materials. A steady stream of digitization requests
for one item here, two pages there can be labor-intensive, and policies
for user requests vary widely across institutions.
To address these issues, OCLC Research and the OCLC Research Library
Partnership's Working Group on Streamlining Photography and Scanning
<http://www.oclc.org/research/activities/photoscan/default.htm> sought
methods for reducing cumbersome digitization-on-demand
workflows and policy obstacles. The Scan and Deliver report
<http://www.oclc.org/research/publications/library/2011/2011-05.pdf>
[pdf] concludes that a flexible, tiered approach to delivering digitized
copies acknowledges differences in user needs, collections,
institutional policies, and resources.
This webinar will feature creative experiments aimed at scanning and
delivering user-requested digital copies of special collections
materials. San Diego State University offers self-serve scanning in
their reading room. At the University of Chicago, special collections
and interlibrary loan (ILL) colleagues are working together to use
existing infrastructure and expertise. The Getty Research Institute
developed a tiered approach to capture and post digital files created by
fulfilling user requests. Speakers will discuss workflows-in-progress,
lessons learned, and how they learned to stop worrying and love digital
copy requests. Presenters will include:
* Anne Bahde (San Diego State University)
* Julia Gardner (University of Chicago)
* Anne Blecksmith (Getty Research Institute)
* Francine Snyder (Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum)
* Shannon Supple (University of California at Berkeley)
* Jennifer Schaffner (OCLC Research)
and other members of the Streamlining Photography and Scanning Working
Group.
Webinar participation is free and open to all but advanced registration
is required.
