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.
