Atlases, street and road directories
	The library has an up-to-date collection of general world atlases, such as The Times Atlas of the World (PATREF912/31 Z) and atlases dealing with specific countries or parts of countires, such as the Atlas of New South Wales (PATREF912.944/9). Atlases can be major sources of thematic maps, since they often concentrate on such themes as agriculture, oceanography, geology or regional history. There are also current street and road directories for the majority of Australia.
