Subject: Suggestions regarding digital aerials?


My patrons use aerial photographs heavily, mostly of Southern California. I
have flat files full of print aerials that are only so-so quality. And since
almost without exception what patrons do with the aerials is scan them for
manipulation in their documents, I've been looking into cd-rom aerials. This
area is very confusing to me.

The people at the local map store are usually very helpful, but this is out
of their consumer-oriented range. A faculty member has recommended the
Digitial Geographic Systems/WAC Corp. set of 3 cds of Southern California.
Their promotional material is promising, but the set is expensive.

I wonder if anyone has any practical experience with this material, or any
suggestions of other products?

Thanks.
