Hi, folks -
The paragraph below is taken from today's Internet Scout Project which
can be found at: http://scout.wisc.edu
This is a resource that basically covers just about all the sciences
and the resources it points recipients towards are really excellent.
You can sign up for the weekly report at the website above. You can
get either Rich text or Plain text formats.
7. Teaching with Maps
http://library.buffalo.edu/maps/mapresources/researching_maps.php
Staff at the State University of New York's University at Buffalo's
Map Collection have worked to bring the general public this top-notch
guide to teaching with maps. The resources are culled from the
University at Buffalo, digital collections from other institutions,
and the Internet. The materials are organized into 14 thematic
categories, such as Gazetteers, GIS Maps and
Sites, and Satellite and Remote-Sensing Images. Visitors will note
that each resource has a brief annotation along with a direct link to
the resource. Locating Maps on the World Wide Web is a great
resource, as it features high-quality links to collections at the
University of Texas at Austin, the United Nations, and the US
Geological Survey. Moving on, the Teaching Resources and Other
Materials area is another great find. Here visitors can make their way
through over two dozen resources, including the Using Historic Maps in
College and University Courses site from the Newberry Library in
Chicago. [KMG]
