  • Mapping the Literature of GIS
    Mapping the Literature of GIS Edith A. Scarletto This study analyzed citations in four journals, Annals of the Association of American Geographers, Cartography and Geographic Information Science, International Journal of Geographical Information Science, and Cartographic Journal, using Bradford’s Law of Scattering to identify three influence zones indicating core and peripheral titles in the study areas of GIS. Journals were ranked resulting in twenty-three core journals and 187 secondary journals. Scores for relevant indexing/abstracting services are also given to describe access points and coverage. The results can assist librarians and collection managers to support research in their institutions where GIS is both used and studied. cademic librarians have tra- to support research and to contribute ditionally fit emerging dis- additional knowledge to their discipline. ciplines into their existing Academic libraries support research by structure, and Geography collecting and providing access to journal and Map Librarians (among others) have literature in their institutions.

The simulator achieved a new plateau of nuclear effects simulation, able to test complete weapons electronics packages critical for both strategic and tactical nuclear weapons design. During the first half of its life, the Aurora Simulator primarily served military agencies and contractors in testing the warheads of intercontinental ballistic missiles [ICBMs]; during the second half of its life, the facility expanded its technical capabilities to test the hardening of very large finished systems, such as those for satellites. Project Information: During 1995-1996, the Aurora Simulator is being disassembled inside its reinforced- concrete infrastructure. Removal of three- quarters of the capacitors in the Marx tank occurred in early 19 95, with shipment to Arnold AFB, Tennessee, for reuse in the simulator Decade.
