Cartography Workshop talk from Ohio GIS.

NACIS, North American Cartographic Information Society, specifically their journal, Cartographic Perspectives. I think CP is only available to members, but I saved a couple here, here, and here. I hope those links work, I might bulk download a bunch and send you them – remind me if you want these. I found the archives, maybe you can access these?

Cartotalk is a great place to lurk or participate.
