LexisNexis^® U.S. Serial Set Maps Digital Collection

Why Serial Set Maps?

From the exploration of the Amazon in the 1800s to flood protection studies in the 1950s; from 1880s-1960s fisheries maps to beach erosion studies that illustrate change over time-the maps of the Serial Set will satisfy a wide and diverse range of research needs.

What sets LexisNexis apart from all others is that within a sea of more than 56,000 maps, the user can actually find the map that they want and need. The corpus of this functionality is the magisterial "Index and Cartobibliography of Maps in the Serial Set" (or "Cartobib").

The "Cartobib" is the product of years of labor and numerous grants at the University of Kansas and features detailed indexing for every single map contained within the 13,000+ volumes of the Serial Set through the year 1969. Key indexing elements are:

• Date
• Subject and geographic terms
• Personal and organizational names
• Map title
• Relief method
• Coordinates
• Notation of content abstracting
• Document in which the map was published
• Scale

The breadth and scope of the bibliographic data that enables such powerful search functionality is difficult to fathom, but through a simple and familiar LN Congressional user interface, it allows users to quickly and efficiently focus and winnow their search results to a useable data set. And with so many maps in a single collection, that ability is of paramount importance.
