The sole resource I know of is Books for College Libraries, 3rd ed., 1988,
and scan the section for geography.  The problem is that it will miss the
last 11 years, including everything in GIS and everything relevant in
remote imaging.

To cover the recent period you would need to look at the back numbers of
Choice for several years.

On the other hand, just looking at the geography listings for several
volumes of Choice might be a good bet, anyway.
