Library's New Acquisition:

World language Mapping System CD-ROM (G1046. E3 2007. W67) provides comprehensive and up-to-date locations of the world's nearly 7000 ethno-linguistic peoples. It requires ArcGIS software to display and work with the data.
Topo maps-Mid Atlantic CD-ROM (G3790 2002.I 45) provides 7.5 minutes (1:24,000) USGS topographic maps in the DC, Delaware, Virginia and West Virginia area. You can search the CD by place name, township, and location. All Topo Maps will convert Lat/Lon and UTM coordinate display and traces distance measurements. Maps can be directly exported to .Tif and .TFW format for use with CAD and GIS applications.

These two CDs are located in the government documents unit in Fenwick Library.
