ALA's Map and Geography Round Table is excited to announce a newly published guide to citing cartographic materials. Cartographic Citations: a Style Guide 2nd ed., by Christine Kollen, Wangyal Shawa and Mary Lynette Larsgaard is the most thorough citation guide to the spectrum of cartographic works available and will aid authors and scholars in crediting specialized resources overlooked by general citation guides. Readers will find in the new edition a greatly updated and expanded section on electronic spatial data including entirely new entries for GIS data, real-time online maps and interactive online maps. In addition, the breadth of cartographic items covered include not just standalone print maps, but maps printed in periodicals and books, cross sections, facsimiles, relief models, globes, and aerial photographs. Every entry of the 1992 first edition was revisited by the authors, resulting in a completely revised reference work. Formed in 1980, MAGERT--the world's largest map library organization--provides a forum for people interested or involved in any aspect of map or geography librarianship. More information about MAGERT is available at http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/rts/magert/index.cfm Copies of Cartographic Citations are available for $20 which includes shipping and handling to domestic and international addresses. Payment may be prepaid by check made to ALA MAGERT, or purchase orders will be accepted from institutions.
