BEST PRACTICES IN CITATION OF CARTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS
Please excuse the cross-posting


The Bibliographic Control Committee (BCC) of the Association of Canadian
Map Libraries and Archives (ACMLA) is proud to announce the launch of
its major guide to the citation of cartographic materials and
geospatial resources at last week's Annual meeting of the ACMLA (CARTO
2012).

*/ACMLA RECOMMENDED BEST PRACTICES IN CITATION OF CARTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS/*
*This is a major work, compiled primarily by Alberta Auringer Wood (Map
Librarian (Ret), Memorial University of Newfoundland) with assistance
from other former members of the BCC. It covers 27 different basic forms
with 3 - 5 examples of each form. It will be a valuable tool and
resource for map and spatial database users *
*
*
*Although currently only available in English, a French version is planned.*

This will be a valuable tool for students and scholars.  It is licensed
under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 Canada License
and is recommended for inclusion in map and geospatial related guides.

It is available from the ACMLA at:

Please share this with your colleagues

Cheers
