As part of a broader study soliciting user input when specifying thematic content and design for a new provincial atlas of British Columbia, special-interest groups and the general public were questioned about their reactions toward, and willingness to purchase and use, alternative atlas formats, emphasizing loose-leaf and electronic atlas distribution. Results suggest a negative response to loose leaf atlas distribution, and a positive reaction to any electronic atlas as long as it complements rather than substitutes for a traditional, bound paper atlas.", pages = "157-166", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/cagis/cagis/1993/00000020/00000003/art00003", doi = "doi:10.1559/152304093782637406", keyword = "ATLAS, USER SURVEY, DISTRIBUTION FORMATS, LOOSE-LEAF, DIGITAL, ELECTRONIC, CD-ROM, VIDEO" }
