Mapping Information Delivery Networks: The Objectives, the Methods, the Benefits, and the Model

Abstract

In response to the need to summarize the use of information/telecommunications technologies, to understand these technologies, and to comprehend the extent of public information delivery systems in use or in place in a region of the Pacific Northwest, the authors have designed a compact atlas. This atlas combines data and information blocks with information technology graphics blocks and maps showing the actual locations of information delivery systems. The atlas, entitled “Information Highways: Mapping Information Delivery Networks in the Pacific North west,” provides a model for assimilating large volumes of information dealing with generic topics. This model utilizes maps of text and graphics to create a pictorial context for conceptualizing what exists and what might exist.
