All,

I am /very/ excited to announce that vol. 4, no. 1, (2007) is now
published! I just received a copy of the first of two double issues that
are based on the theme of GIS within the United States Department of
Energy. Many thanks go to the guest editors, Lisa Wishard and Denise
Bleakley at Sandia National Laboratories for overseeing a huge project
that delivers many, many timely articles on GIS standards and uses.
Besides three opening articles related to the history and structure (and
more!) of Geospatial Science within the DOE, there are eleven other
articles, many illustrated, specific to GIS applications, standards and
research outcomes such as "Metrics of Success for Enterprise Geographic
Information Systems (EGIS)", "Evaluation of Open Geospatial Consortium
Standards for Use in the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory GIS",
and "Savannah River National Laboratory Emergency Response Capability
for Atmospheric Contaminant Releases".

For a complete table of contents, with abstracts, for this issue go to:

<http://www.haworthpress.com/store/product.asp?sid=K6KVC3V8RH4S9GSQT59V2UNUCBSH6PS2&sku=J230&AuthType=2>
and click on the "Complete Contents for Current & Past Volumes" on the
right-side column.

The second piece of this theme issue is forthcoming in May 2008.

As always, Mary Larsgaard and I are always seeking articles for the
journal, so if you have ideas or even something partly completed please
send an email to us ([log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]).

Thanks!

Paige
