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.
