Item Exploring the Terra Incognita of Access and Discovery: The Evolution of Cartographic Cataloging in the Twenty-First Century(Journal of Map & Geography Libraries, 2014) Traill, StacieCataloging has seen substantial change since 2000, and the cataloging of maps, geospatial data, and other cartographic resources is no exception. The pace and scale of change, tied to the evolution of technology and cataloging/metadata standards, have been swift and broad. This paper highlights the most important changes and trends in the cataloging of cartographic resources during the first thirteen years of the twenty-first century through a review of the published literature, and summarizes the state of map cataloging today. The author concludes the paper by proposing future directions for research and practice.Item Optimizing web access to geospatial data: the Cornell University Geospatial Information Repository (CUGIR)(Association of College and Research Libraries, Science and Technology Section, 1999) Herold, Philip; Gale, Thomas D.; Turner, Thomas P.With the aid of a 1997 Federal Geographic Data Committee CCAP Award, Cornell's Albert R. Mann Library recently established the Cornell University Geospatial Information Repository (CUGIR), a Web-based clearinghouse containing geospatial data and metadata related to New York State. The staff at Mann Library has established an efficient model for spatial data distribution. This paper describes the processes, problems, and solutions involved in the creation of a geospatial data distribution system.
