literatinetwork@emeraldinsight.com (Jennifer Koenig Johnson) — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0100

Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to cite and briefly discuss digital map collections. Design/methodology/approach - Digital map collections were located, evaluated, and selected. Collections included in the annotated bibliography consist primarily of maps that originated in print, or contain historical maps, or are unique. Each included collection meets at least one of those criteria. Findings - There are a wide variety of resources available online that users can freely access. This annotated bibliography focuses specifically on digital collections that contain cartographic materials. Each item, after being evaluated, includes a citation, brief description, and usage instructions. Originality/value - While there are many digital collections available for users to access that focus primarily on the manuscript and photograph formats, there are a variety of other formats that are also digitized, such as cartographic materials. This annotated bibliography highlights 40 collections that were located, evaluated, and described. Most of these collections originate in print materials, while at least one collection focuses specifically on digitally born maps. All maps collections are housed and created by institutions or organizations in the USA, while the content ranges in subjects, date ranges, and geographic locations.

literatinetwork@emeraldinsight.com (Nataly Blas) — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0100

Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this article is to highlight and describe information resources on Hispanic marketing for practitioners and scholars in the field – as well as librarians collecting resources in the Communication and Business subject areas. Design/methodology/approach - This article provides an overview of Hispanic marketing resources that were published within the last ten years. A few key sources on Hispanic culture and Hispanic statistics are included for a holistic picture of the Hispanic impact in the US consumer market. Findings - The paper reveals that marketers and advertisers are keeping a close eye on the Hispanic consumer market as the Hispanic population in the US continues to increase. Yet, there are few scholarly sources examining and discussing Hispanic marketing communication. Originality/value - With only a handful of information sources on Hispanic marketing communication, it is eminent to get scholarly research that teaches our future generations of marketers to conduct leading research and serve as an innovative resource for the Hispanic marketing industry.
