Dear LM_NETters, I have received an offer to purchase a print copy of the "Columbia = Gazetteer of the World" at a very attractive price. However, I am not = familiar with this publication and wonder if I may have some input about = its usefulness and reliability from more experienced colleagues? I = couldn't find anything in the LM_NET archives.=20 I did sign up for the free trial of the online version, and while I did = receive hits for most of my queries, some of them quite small places, I = was surprised that for instance Sweden's second largest airport was not = listed. Also, the information at the "Aland Islands" is incorrect, = saying "Location" is Sweden, and showing the Swedish map and flag, = although from the text you can more or less gather that they do, indeed, = belong to Finland. So, before I spend my money on the book and the postage, would you = recommend this resource? Many thanks for any help you can give me, Malin Lauschus Librarian International English School in G=E4vle S Kungsgatan 59 SE-802 55 G=E4vle Sweden Phone: +46 (0)26-54 30 90 Fax: +46 (0)26-54 30 98 malin.lauschus@gavle.engelska.se =A0 =A0 -------------------------------------------------------------------- All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
