Happily, Swiss libraries are well represented on the Internet. As the computer was used for and is being used primarily for the bibliographical indexing of maps in on-line catalogues, this means that the catalogue data can now also usually be called up on the Internet.
Some libraries also present their special or map collections on the Internet.
There are also some 'pioneers' who are offering digital maps which are recorded on computer discs or CD-ROMs, on publically accessible computers. Digital maps are becoming a new area of work.

The virtual Library of Maps Libraries, archives and documentation centres constitute an important link between the products of map manufacturers and their users.
