----- Forwarded Message ----- From: "Tanya Buckingham (Geography)" <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps-L Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 9:23:09 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Cartographic Perspectives Special Digital Issue Last week the North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS) launched a special digital issue of Cartographic Perspectives in an effort to begin discussing the future of the journal, (e.g., possibilities of open access, digital format). Additionally, there are some great tools for all of us in the GeoSpatial community to take advantage of in this issue. I have been tasked with putting another issue together, and will be accepting submissions until January 15, 2010. Please contact me with any questions, ideas or interest in publishing in the next digital issue, to be released in April 2010. The content, as you will see in the current issue, is not restricted to classic research/refereed papers. You can share techniques, tips, data, etc. For professors or TAs of GIScience, I would be interested in receiving submissions that focus on a particular lab or difficult topic for which you have found great solutions (e.g. projections to new students, successful seminars).
