Download or read book A Research Guide to Cartographic Resources written by Eva H. Dodsworth and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-09-22 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interdisciplinary uses of traditional cartographic resources and modern GIS tools allow for the analysis and discovery of information across a wide spectrum of fields. A Research Guide to Cartographic Resources navigates the numerous American and Canadian cartographic resources available in print and online, offering researchers, academics and students with information on how to locate and access the large variety of resources, new and old. Dozens of different cartographic materials are highlighted and summarized, along with lists of map libraries and geospatial centers, and related professional associations. A Research Guide to Cartographic Resources consists of 18 chapters, two appendices, and a detailed index that includes place names, and libraries, structured in a manner consistent with most reference guides, including cartographic categories such as atlases, dictionaries, gazetteers, handbooks, maps, plans, GIS data and other related material. Almost all of the resources listed in this guide are categorized by geography down to the county level, making efficient work of the type of material required to meet the information needs of those interested in researching place-specific cartographic-related resources. Additionally, this guide will help those interested in not only developing a comprehensive collection in these subject areas, but get an understanding of what materials are being collected and housed in specific map libraries, geospatial centers and their related websites. Of particular value are the sections that offer directories of cartographic and GIS libraries, as well as comprehensive lists of geospatial datasets down to the county level. This volume combines the traditional and historical collections of cartography with the modern applications of GIS-based maps and geospatial datasets.

Download or read book A Directory of Fishery Data Collection Activities Conducted by the Statistical Surveys Division in the Southeast Region of the United States written by Herbert F. Prytherch and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of the Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 and the planning and imposition of Fishery Management Plans in the U.S., the number of requests and demands for historical, current, and new kinds of fishery data has increased dramatically. These demands are often well beyond the ability of present staff to respond, well beyond the limitations of available and anticipated economic resources, and well beyond the limitations of data collection systems presently in use. In such a climate, there is an understandable and reasonable desire to maximize the informational return. However, as noted by Wenk (1972), "the federal role at sea has not been continuous or well planned but has grown in a random succession of separate legislative assignments." For example, the National Marine Fisheries is authorized to collect biological, economic, social, and other data many different statutes (see page. 2). The resulting potential for duplicative effort and inefficiency has been great. In order to fulfill their obligations under such a diversity of authorizations, data collection and management systems often subscribe unnecessarily to a variety of recording, storage, and reporting formats. More importantly, computer technology now makes much of the human time and effort involved in current collection and analysis methodology unnecessary. This report is part of an effort to describe and evaluate the present data collection systems now operating within the SEFC of the NMFS in order 1) to facilitate the flow of information in a more timely and continuous manner, 2) to identify and eliminate unnecessary duplication, 3) to determine those components of the collection and analysis process which may more easily and accurately be accomplished by computers and 4) to recommend for implementation those procedures which seem likely to contribute to a better data collection system.
