NEW BLOG FROM MARY ELLEN BATES AND A NEW UK UNDERGROUND MAP

In her first post, Bates, a well-known speaker on library issues, wrote, “Primarily upon the urging of a few people I've subjected to my amusing anecdotes of life on the road, I'm starting to share my own peculiar perspective of the world with the world. I'm not sure where it will lead.” There are some very interesting observations here, including the next item.

THE REAL UNDERGROUND
The London Underground’s stylized map may distort distances. This neat tool morphs it into an accurate map. You can even superimpose a street map on the tube map. From Transport for London, a functional body of the Greater London Authority, whose mission is to implement the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy and manage transport services across the Capital.
