The latest issue of College & Research Libraries (Sept. 2007, p.
376-387)
has an article by Michael Buckland et al. (6 authors, mostly from UC
Berkeley) entitled "Geographic Search: Catalogs, Gazetteers, and Maps"
that
may be of interest to map people, though it also pertains to
geographic
searching for non-map resources. It looks at the kinds of geographic
data
that catalog records contain but that are underused for searching
purposes,
discusses extending search capabilities, georeferencing place name
authority records, and using maps as catalog interfaces. (FYI, full
