  • 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.

Why some are simple, circular molecules while others are fragmented into hundreds of linear chromosomes? This course will try to answer these & other questions about genome evolution. It will explore the diversity in genomic architecture across the eukaryotic tree of life. Through lectures, student presentations, and group discussions, we will examine strange and bizarre genomes – genomes that break all of the rules. We will discuss controversial hypotheses about genome evolution and the scientists who developed them. The course also has a strong “communications” component, with lectures on scientific writing, speaking, and social media – all with a bend on genomics, of course. Prerequisites: 4200B: 1.5 Biol courses at 3000 level or above & registration in Year 4 of an Honors specialization module. 9561B: Graduate student in Biology.
