WAML produces two publications, the Information Bulletin and the Occasional Papers series.

Information Bulletin (ISSN 2375-7957) is WAML’s open-access publication.
It is issued three times a year and includes feature articles, photo essays, association business, and selected news and notes related to all forms of cartographic information, including maps, geospatial data, GIS, and all aspects of map librarianship.
Some portions of the IB website are available to WAML members only.
