 Acknowledgments

Articles on land information systems and cadastral systems in developing countries are spread
among disparate and often difficult to find literature sources. We wish to thank the many
individuals who have aided the compilation of this bibliography by offering their own
bibliographies, uncovering overlooked articles, supplying copies of articles, and reviewing the
draft document. For special thanks we wish to mention Grenville Barnes, Gary Hunter, D.
Jeyanandan, Gary Jeffress, John McLaughlin, Susan Nichols, Malcolm Robertson, and Ian
Williamson.

We also wish to thank the Department of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering at the University
of New Brunswick and the Land Tenure Center at the University of Wisconsin for allowing us to
access the materials in their libraries. Without their past and ongoing efforts on which to build,
this bibliography would have been far more difficult to compile and far less comprehensive.

We gratefully acknowledge partial funding for this project by NCGIA which is funded by NSF
grant SES 88-10917.
