Subject: Looking for two reviewers for digital mapping projects
Hi All-
I’m the Review Editor for the “Atlas and Book Review” section of the WAML Information Bulletin. As we continue with our expansion to
the “Atlas and Book Review” section to include digital mapping project reviews, I’m seeking a volunteer to review the following mapping projects. We have gotten permission from the creators of these projects to review them:
https://notanatlas.org/ This Is Not an Atlas
https://www.thetexasfreedomcoloniesproject.com/atlas Texas Freedom Colonies
Atlas 2.1
Specific reviewer guidelines will be sent to the reviewer, but to give you a sneak peek of what we will expect, here are some prompts
to shape your review:
If you are interested in reviewing one of these mapping projects for the March issue of the IB, please contact me directly off-list.
The deadline will be the last week in March, and I’ll send you a specific date once you are chosen. You will also receive complete reviewer guidelines. I’ll send another email out once the reviewers are chosen and these projects are no longer available for
review.
In the future (but not immediately) we will be soliciting ideas of mapping projects to review, so be on the lookout in the next few
months for a form to complete if you have ideas. The form will have specific criteria that the project needs to meet to be considered.
Thank you and please let me know if you have questions.
