Essential for Every Reference Desk
/Cartographic Citations: //A//Style Guide/ is an essential item for
every reference desk, being the most thorough guide to citing
cartographic works available. It will aid authors and scholars in
crediting specialized resources overlooked by general citation guides.
Tell your general reference collection manager that this essential
resource is now available through the ALA Store.
Readers will find in this 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 cartographic items covered include 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.
Copies of Cartographic Citations are available for $20; orders may be
placed through the ALA Store at
