Maps-L Folks,
 
There has been some discussion of the new LandView III CD-ROM set on
the GOVDOC-L listserv.  It consists of 11 CD-ROM discs and contains
documentation in PDF file format on the discs (which can be printed out).
 
Discs 1-10 were distributed to U.S. Federal Depository Libraries under
item number 0431-R-03 on shipping list 98-0025-E.  To quote from the
record in OCLC, "LandView III is a desktop mapping system ...
jurisdictional boundaries; detailed networks of roads, rivers, and
railroads; census block group and tract polygons; and schools, hospitals,
churches, cemeteries, airports, dams, and other landmark features. ...
U.S. Summary is Disc 11."
 
We have not received disc 11 yet, but these look like they should be of
interest to map libraries.  Disc 1 includes data for ME,NH,VT,MA,CT,
RI,NY,NJ,PA,DE,MD,DC, but did not have room for all of the PDF files.
Apparently, to look at the full set of instructions, you may want to look
at one of the other discs.
