Contributors to this issue 7. The Western Association of Map Libraries 1. News 1.1 USGS Publications Advisory Committee needs input An Ad Hoc Committee has been formed within the Geologic Division of the USGS to make recommendations on a wide variety of issues concerned with publications, the integration of the scientific programs into the publication process, and the USGS libraries. Recommendations will be made to the Chief Geologist and the Division Policy Council. The final report will be sent to the Chief Geologist in November. The chair of the committee, James Smith, is seeking general overall publication reviews from outsiders. This is your opportunity: as librarians, as users of the geologic literature, as keen observers of its use by patrons, and as people with a vested interest in the smooth, efficient dissemination of the published literature to have input into a critical report. You have all had the opportunity to work with the new digital formats and probably have some insight into their efficiency, usefulness, and what is missing or currently unavailable when information is presented in this format. You have worked with the USGS publication series and maps and know the usefulness and value of these series. How do they relate to the needs of your patrons? Do you see overlap? How are open-file reports used? What improvements would you like to see? Think of these issues and others, then put pen to paper. Some of the issues being considered by the committee which you may wish to address include: - Establishing publication priorities - What type of publications should be published in the future. - Standards for publications and whether these should be determined by regional technical report publication groups/units or a central publications group - On-line publishing, publications on alternate media (eg. WWW) etc. What types of information in this form, are they efficient and can they be maintained? How is payment made? - What are the considerations for spatial databases and the implications for their use, distribution, etc.? - What policies should be developed to govern general interest publications? *** What administration and technical support does the library need and who should provide it? (The library by tradition has been in the Geologic Division to support the research efforts of scientists); library funding, organization, its future role.

Haner, GIS President [log in to unmask] 1.2 Changes at the Arizona Department of Transportation Early this year, the Arizona Department of Transportation discontinued the cartographic unit in its Photogrammetry and Mapping Section. The Department did this as part of a major reorganization, where functions that do not directly support freeway construction are being eliminated. The cartographic unit prepared various products, including the state's travel map and county highway atlases. Responsibility for producing the travel map has been turned over to Arizona Highways Magazine, which will be responsible for its production. At present, all work has stopped on the county atlases. 2.

It features a series of photos from National Parks and National Historic Sites on one side and a very attractive map of Canada on the other. The map shows the locations of the parks and sites and lists them by province. It also depicts some vegetation and land covers. The size is about 2 x 3 feet. Full colour and again quite attractive and very informative.

It is not necessarily an academic journal, although academics and professionals from all disciplines will hopefully find it interesting. It is a publication for the general population focusing on the world of maps, atlases, globes, and charts. Mercator's World will have a worldwide distribution of 20,000 and will be published six times per year. Mercator's World is edited for readers who have an interest in and love for maps. It will cover the history of maps and map-making, atlases, globes, and charts, as well as current technologies in cartography. Articles and features will include eve rything from antique maps and collecting to the use of maps in past and current explorations. Mercator's World will focus on maps and atlases from a variety of perspectives, including scientific, military, political, historical, cultural, and sociological. They are currently seeking editorial submissions from the collector, historian, geographical, and cartography communities. Generally, articles should be from between 1000-2000 words in length and include as many quality graphics as possible (which will be handled with extreme care and returned promptly). All editorial submissions will be reviewed by the publication's editorial advisory board. If you are interested in serving on the board, please let me know. Suggestions and recommendations regarding content are certainly welcomed.

E., Jr., 1995, The design and implementation of an integrated geographic information system for environmental applications: Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, v. 61, no. 11, p. 1393. By taking advantage of the latest advancements in geographical data browsing systems, fourth generation procedural programming languages, and network communications, the integrated system represents an important step in the evolution of GIS.
