ALA’s Map and Geography Round Table is excited to announce a newly
published guide to citing cartographic materials.
/Cartographic//Citations: a Style Guide 2nd ed/., by Christine Kollen,
Wangyal Shawa and Mary Lynette Larsgaard is the most thorough citation
guide to the spectrum of cartographic works available and will aid
authors and scholars in crediting specialized resources overlooked by
general citation guides.
Readers will find in the new edition a greatly updated and expanded
section on electronic spatial data including entirely new entries for
GIS data, real-time online maps and interactive online maps. In
addition, the breadth of printed cartographic items covered includes not
just standalone print maps, but maps printed in periodicals and books,
cross sections, facsimiles, relief models, globes, and aerial
photographs. Every entry of the 1992 first edition was revisited by the
authors, resulting in a completely revised reference work.
Formed in 1980, MAGERT--the world's largest map library
organization--provides a forum for people interested or involved in any
aspect of map or geography librarianship. More information about MAGERT
is available at http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/rts/magert/index.cfm
