1.1 New Publications from the Arizona Geological Survey
The Arizona Geological Survey announces our Digital Information (DI) publications series. This series comprises digital data files released after October, 1993 and includes maps and digital databases which are provided on DOS-formatted, 3.5" high-density disks. (Files are also available in alternate formats if requested, such as 5.25" disk, double-density, or MacIntosh-compatible.) Each DI product has a version number which allows the products to be updated while keeping the same DI-number. The date on the accompanying text indicates the date of the most recent revision. Publications in the Digital Information Series include Digital Representation of Geological Map of the Phoenix North 30’ x 60’ Quadrangle, Central Arizona; Digital Geologic Map of Arizona; and Data Structure for Arizona Geological Survey Digital Geologic Maps. Additional maps will be available by July 1, 1997. These publications can be ordered by calling the Arizona Geological Survey at (520) 770-3500.
1.2 Texas Map Society
The Texas Map Society held its first meeting in November, 1996. The society is devoted to fostering the study, understanding and collecting of maps old and new. The Texas Map society is the only society of its kind in Texas, and one of the few map societies in the United States. The directing board proposes to have two meetings each year, one in the spring and one in the fall, at each of which a program of roughly six presentations will be offered. The first two meetings were held at the University of Texas at Arlington (in the Dallas-Fort Worth area), but future meetings will not necessarily be held there. Speakers for the first two meetings included Lewis Buttery, author of Old Maps of the Southwest, and Ralph Ehrenberg, chief, Cartography and Maps Division, Library of Congress. To join, send your name, address, home phone and work phone plus a check for $25 (annual dues) made out to The Texas Map Society to: Texas Map Society, c/o Prof. David Buisseret, Department of History, The University of Texas at Arlington, Box 19529, Arlington, Texas 76019-0529. Contact Professor Buisseret at (817) 272-2898 if you have additional questions.
1.3 Jean Kan Appointed Map and GIS Librarian
When Map Librarian J.K. Herro left Branner and Stanford, his position was posted and a nation-wide search conducted. The Search Committee received applications from a number of candidates, but, upon examination of the files, it became clear that SUL/AIR had a more qualified person already on board. Thus a proposal was made to and accepted by the Directors to promote Jean Kan to Map and GIS Librarian. Jean has had a varied career at Stanford. From her degree in Music from UC-Berkeley, she came directly to Stanford to be the Added Copy specialist for the Cataloging Department. She served as Copy and Variant Edition Cataloger in the Music Library, Operations Manager of the Copy Cataloging Section, did a stint as Assistant Operations Manager in the Math/CS Library, and was co-head of the Monograph Receiving Unit, before coming to Branner in the Fall of 1995 as Multiformat Map specialist. In her almost two years at Branner, Jean has become our expert on maps of all sorts and formats, particularly those in ArcView. If you don't know what "GIS" and "ArcView" mean, you might make an appointment to join one of Jean's sessions and find out - but not until summer please - she has lots of eager student customers right now.
