The /Journal of Map & Geography Libraries/ is dedicated to gathering and
sharing information regarding geospatial information in any format as it
pertains to its collection, preservation, collocation, distribution and
use, not the least of which is /use/.In 2011 the journal expanded to
three issues per volume, thus the need for more article submissions is
greater than ever.
We welcome papers from librarians, cartographers, historians,
geographers, or anyone who has a role in the lifespan of geospatial
information (maps, atlases, globes, GIS, datasets, geospatial standards,
cataloging/metadata, etc.). The content broadly addresses the role of
libraries, however, related topics associated geospatial information are
also appropriate.
As stated in our "Aims and Scope" section found at
