Just a quick addition for clarification. Nick referred to "Geoscapes",
which is the nickname Mary Larsgaard and I have dubbed for our journal,
Journal of Map & Geography Libraries. Look for this extremely
interesting article in the next issue, due out March 2005.
And, as a reminder, please contact Mary Larsgaard
([log in to unmask]) and myself ([log in to unmask]) if you have an
idea for an article, have an article looking for a place to be
published, and/or are interested in Guest Editing a theme issue!
Thanks,
Paige Andrew
Co-Editor, Journal of Map & Geography Libraries or "Geoscapes"
